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.

  • Hi folks, I’m a testament that miracles happen. When I turned 18, My grandfather encouraged me to buy a lottery ticket for fun but I wasn’t pleased with the way I kept on playing without winning. I was eager to learn more about how to win the lottery and when I searched the internet I found numerous articles saying how they won the lottery through spell casting and I decided to give it a try by contacting Lord Meduza. I’d love to say that this man is such a sweet soul who got my back all through the process of making me a lottery spell to win the lottery. The numbers he gave me won me the LOTTO 6/49 Gold Ball of a whopping $48 million Canadian Dollars. Right now, my family and I are blessed. Thank you LORD MEDUZA for making this win come true for me and my family. Anyone that seeks for his help can get in touch with him by Email: lordmeduzatemple@hotmail.com or via WhatsApp: +1 807 907 2687.

  • When people hear about crypto scams, their typical reaction is disbelief, as if it only happens to careless or reckless individuals. Before I share my experience, if you’re in need of a reliable crypto asset and fund recovery service, their contact information is listed below.

    My family fell victim to a crypto investment scam that wiped out nearly everything we had worked so hard to build. We lost $407,000 worth of USDT and Bitcoin earlier this year, funds that represented years of savings, hard work, and dreams for the future.
    It all began with what appeared to be a legitimate investment opportunity. We were contacted, or more accurately, targeted by individuals claiming to represent a well-established crypto trading platform. They were smooth, articulate, and came armed with all the hallmarks of a trustworthy financial institution. This led us to believe they were legitimate, and we began investing with them. Unfortunately, we soon discovered they were fraudsters. By the time we realized the truth, our investment had vanished. All communication ceased, and there was no way to reach them.
    The story didn’t end there. While the emotional toll was immense, we were desperate for answers and reached out to everyone we knew who might be able to help. A family friend introduced us to a group called Morphohack, a team specializing in digital asset and cryptocurrency recovery. Their contact information is provided above.
    Morphohack was professional, knowledgeable, and incredibly helpful throughout the entire process. After conducting their investigation, they successfully recovered our funds within a few days. Thanks to their meticulous documentation and coordination with the relevant authorities, we were able to reclaim the full $407,000.
    Morphohack accomplished what we thought was impossible, and we are deeply grateful for their outstanding work and support

  • Hi there, I’m writing to describe a severe instance in which my Bitcoin was taken illegally out of my wallet. This illegal transaction, which was carried out without my knowledge or approval, strongly implied that I was the victim of a sophisticated phishing or hacking attempt. Quick action was required since money had to be transferred right away to an anonymous digital address. I promptly hired renowned cybersecurity company WIZARD JAMES RECOVERY to look into and retrieve my stolen Bitcoin. Through careful analysis, WIZARD JAMES RECOVERY was able to identify the precise time and IP address of the illicit transfer’s origin. Amazingly, my Bitcoin was back in my digital wallet within hours of their intervention. In addition to the successful recovery, WIZARD JAMES RECOVERY greatly strengthened my home and online security. This involved installing state of the art anti-malware software, offering thorough cybersecurity training, and putting strong multi-factor authentication into place across all of my accounts. They also provided helpful advice on how to spot and avoid phishing schemes in the future, emphasizing how crucial it is to confirm the legitimacy of emails and websites before clicking on links or exchanging personal information. Beyond merely recovering my money, their commitment to protecting my digital assets guaranteed long-term defense against intrusions in the future. I fully support their professionalism and outstanding problem-solving abilities in handling this important issue. They are genuinely remarkable in their knowledge and dedication. They are well worth recommending because of their proficiency with intricate legal and technological matters.
