How much fasting is enough to receive blessings?

We humans have been on a wild ride recently. With the virus in many countries and the implications which follow, there have been feelings of uncertainty and worry. While we may not know the end from the beginning, the Lord does. He tells us that if we are prepared, we shall not fear. Even if we are prepared, I think there is a little bit of worry only because we don’t know what to expect. These events could result in lost employment, late bills, lack of food or childcare and a host of other issues. All these things would be very good reasons to plead with the Lord for help in a fast.

President Nelson invited us to fast as a global community of believers on March 29th and then in General Conference, he asked us to join together again on Good Friday, to fast as a world for this situation to be remedied, people to be blessed and economies to be strengthened. I cannot imagine in the least what kind of power this call to action can bring.

Any amount of fasting will bring blessings; to they who go without food and water, a greater increase of the Holy Ghost and then with the offerings paid, those who stand in need of temporal help. Both receive blessings. When we have a deep struggle that tears at our soul, I do not believe we should expect to fast once and have everything be righted. Some struggles of a lifetime might need fasting over a lifetime. There are numerous afflictions that will require patience and dedication to a solution that with fasting over a period of time, can strengthen the petitioners until deliverance.

The Lord said, “Is not this the fast that I have chosen? to loose the bands of wickedness, to undo the heavy burdens, and to let the oppressed go free, and that ye break every yoke?” (Isa. 58:6) He gives us the solution to overcoming our challenges whether immediately or over time.

Every fast, however large or small the sacrifice, merits blessings of increased power or strength and closeness to the Savior. Elder Robert K. Dellenbach said, “Obeying the law of the fast is another form of sacrifice. The Lord asks us to set aside one Sunday a month to fast for two meals. We are invited to contribute the money saved on the cost of those two meals to the Church so it can assist those in need. Fasting and contributing a generous offering have a refining effect upon the soul. President Spencer W. Kimball stated, “Upon practicing the law of the fast, one finds a personal well-spring of power to overcome self-indulgence and selfishness.”1

I was impressed by the many declarations of faith and hope as we united with our brothers and sisters of all faiths in the worldwide fasts which President Nelson called for. I look forward to seeing even more miracles occur as we continue to unite in prayer and fasting.

  • I know this may not be the right place, but I just want to use this medium to share my story and help others who might find themselves in a similar situation. In 2022, my best friend introduced me to a Telegram platform where she was successfully trading Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies, making over $85,000 in just three months. Encouraged, I invested $25,000, saw a 30% ROI in my first month, and withdrew $10,000. Feeling confident, I upgraded to the premium plan and invested an additional $65,000. My investment grew to $350,000, and I decided to withdraw the funds to buy a property.However, the platform demanded an unexpected 25% commission, which was not in the original agreement. I managed to pay 20%, but they continued asking for more. When I couldn’t pay, they closed my account and stopped responding. My friend and I reported the incident to the police, who informed us that the company was based in India and that they would need to involve Interpol. After waiting three months with no progress, my friend found a blockchain recovery expert. Contacting them was the turning point. Within two days, they arranged a trial deposit, and the next day, I received a full deposit of $430,000, including all bonuses. They saved my investment, and I promised to share my story to help others in similar situations. Their communication was excellent throughout the process, and I highly recommend them.

  • The world of corporate law is difficult enough to navigate; but, when I found myself getting cut off from $450,000 in Bitcoin through a ransomware attack, it pushed me to the brink. But that wasn’t all-the nightmare just went on and on. Someone started sending disturbing threatening messages, demanding a ransom, and made chilling claims about how they were in control of my assets. It felt like the weight of the whole world at the time, given these threats were potentially coming from near friends and trustworthy colleagues.
    I was in a state of utter shock and terror, and at the same time, in unimaginable vulnerability and betrayal. I had always been proud of myself for being prepared against any legal or financial issue that would arise in my life, but this was just way over what I had been through. Preliminary efforts toward resolution were all dead ends, which rendered me helpless and anxious. In this helpless state of mind, I turned to Asset Rescue Specialist, hoping it could offer me a lifeline.
    From the very first conversation, the team at Asset Rescue Specialist, was able to make a comforting mix of professionalism and empathy. They realized the urgency of my situation and explained their process for recovery to me in detail. What impressed me most was their commitment not only to recovering my Bitcoin but also to finding out where the harassment and blackmail were coming from.
    Their investigation unraveled what to me was unbelievable: my so-called friends and associates were the ones behind the ransomware attack and had been planning the threats to extort money from me. It was a devastating revelation, but one that was crucial for the resolution of the situation and protection in the future.

They introduced me to advanced encryption techniques and secure backup strategies that I hadn’t considered before.

    It felt like the recovery of my wallet by, Asset Rescue Specialist finally came, and it was a huge feeling of relief.
