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.

  • A Life-Changing Experience, Dr Kachi A Testimony of Gratitude

    I would like to share an extraordinary experience that has transformed my life. I came across a remarkable testimony online forum about a powerful and renowned spell caster, Dr. Kachi. At the time, I was skeptical because I had never encountered anything related to magic or spell casting before. However, the story of Dr. Kachi’s work resonated with me, and I decided to give it a chance. For years, my family and I struggled financially, and despite my best efforts, I never had luck winning the lottery. I loved playing, but winning seemed impossible. Everything changed when I connected with Dr. Kachi, who provided me with a winning lottery number through a powerful spell. In just 24 hours, I was able to play the lottery and won the Lotto 6/49 prize, a remarkable $68 million cash prize, on September 27th in the Gold Ball Draw. This incredible win has completely changed my life and the financial well-being of my entire family. After 10 years of trying unsuccessfully, I am now living my dream life. I am beyond grateful to Dr. Kachi for his assistance, Dr. Kachi has truly been a blessing to me and my loved ones. I encourage anyone who is interested to reach out to Dr. Kachi for guidance. his website https://drkachispellcaster.wixsite.com/my-site or email drkachispellcast@gmail.com  Also reach him text or call +1 (209) 893-8075.Thank you once again, Dr. Kachi, for making my dreams come true.

  • ALL THANKS TO TROJANHACK CYBER SECURITY COMPANY.

    I’m veronica 54 years old from Venice, Italy.

    I was finally able to recover my lost USDT and some BITCOIN I sent to a Fake Forex Guru I met on Facebook some months ago.

    As a financial market enthusiast. I was thrilled at the results ( profits) they do post on their Facebook page every day.

    I decided to give it a try and I sent them a private Message which took them less than 24 hours to reply.

    After the discussion I had with them and more results of investors shown to me, I was convinced they are genuine and I decided to invest the sum of 40,200 USDT for a start.. i signed the agreement and all necessary document with MOU ( memorandum of understanding).

    After the first 3 months I got returns on investment as agreed.
    Then I decided to add more funds to my portfolio with them with the sum of 12,000 USDT in BTC conversation.

    After another cycle to get my returns on investment, they came up with stories, demanding I needed pay certain amount of money before I can make withdrawals of which was not the case on initial withdrawals and wasn’t also on the agreement.

    I was so confused, dumbfounded. after several attempts to get back my funds and to which i couldn’t. i decided to open up to a colleague about the incident and he made me to fruther realised i’ve been swindled. On trying to look for a means to get my funds recovered if it’s ever possible.

    I was lucky to trip over TROJANHACK CYBER SECURITY COMPANY’s testimonies by a blog post online and i contacted them.

    After reaching out to TROJANHACK with effective communication, providing necessary information. They were able to recovered my lost USDT AND BITCOIN within a week. I’m forever grateful to them for bringing restfulness back to my life and finance.

  • How I Lost $135,000 in Crypto—and Recovered It

    I never imagined I’d lose $135,000 in USDT with one small mistake. But that’s exactly what happened when I accidentally sent the funds to the wrong wallet address—one with no history, no identity, and no way to reach.

    The moment I realized it, I felt sick. I refreshed the transaction over and over, hoping it was a mistake. It wasn’t. The money was gone, and every crypto user knows the rule that blockchain transactions can’t be reversed.

    I fell into despair. It felt like the end of everything I had worked for. And then, I was introduced to a cybersecurity firm called SPYHOST.

    Skeptical but desperate, I reached out. What followed blew me away. Their team was professional, calm, and impressively equipped. They didn’t promise miracles, but they took action. Using advanced tools and forensic techniques, they tracked the funds, traced the wallet activity, and within 48 hours, my crypto was fully recovered.

    I never thought recovery in crypto was possible until it happened to me. SPYHOST didn’t just bring back my funds; they gave me peace, clarity, and a second chance.

    If you ever find yourself in a similar situation, they can be contacted via:

  • Hi everyone, I’m an entrepreneur, and when I learned about cryptocurrencies and how they potentially triple my income, I was excited to invest. I hope this message finds the correct audience. On the internet, I came across someone who assured me of exceptionally significant returns on my investment. I was readily persuaded by this man’s seeming wisdom. I quickly discovered that this cryptocurrency was a hoax and that I was unable to withdraw my money after making a substantial investment. My business was in tatters, and I owed money.Fortunately for me, a pop-up regarding cryptocurrency recovery and cybersecurity specialists that could help me get all of my money back appeared when seeking for help on the internet. This organization, WIZARD JAMES RECOVERY, is a cyber security and cryptocurrency recovery firm that helped me get my investment money back. I sincerely appreciate their assistance and heartily endorse them to anyone in need of cryptocurrency recovery.
