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.

  • So there I was last week, in real trouble. When I fell for this financial scam, I thought I had hit gold. It turned out that it was all falsehoods, and I lost a staggering $210,000. They portrayed it as a financial paradise, but in reality, it was more like financial pain. I came across WIZARD JAMES RECOVERY, and after providing them with data and information, I received first-rate assistance and received my entire belongings back. Without them, I’m not sure what I would have done. We are appreciative of WIZARD JAMES RECOVERY’S tremendous help.
    Wizard James Recovery can be reached at Wizardjamesrecovery@usa.com or over WhatsApp at +447418367204.

  • The offer sounded too good to be true, but I ignored my doubts after seeing the high-yield crypto trading platform and observing the market myself. In hindsight, that should have raised red flags. However, like many crypto investors, I was drawn into investing in digital assets, believing it was a huge opportunity for me. Unfortunately, this led to me becoming just another victim of a sophisticated crypto scam, in which I lost $312,000 in USDT (Tether). It was a devastating financial blow that threatened both my stability and peace of mind. If not for the intervention of a little-known cyber forensics firm, Morphohack Cyber Service, I would have lost everything. They helped me reverse the damage and reclaim control of my crypto assets.

    I highly recommend the services of Morphohack. You can contact them via email (Morphohack@cyberservices . com). This team of blockchain experts and cybersecurity professionals was able to detect the scam, trace where my crypto was sent, and initiate a full recovery process.
    It wasn’t a simple fix, it was a full-blown counteroffensive that lasted 72 hours. Within just three days, Morphohack had located the primary wallets used in the scam and coordinated a comprehensive recovery of my digital assets.
    To anyone who might find themselves in the same situation I was in: don’t panic, and don’t suffer in silence. Seek help and act quickly. You can reach out to Morphohack at the email address above. Crypto recovery is real, if you move fast.

  • The kind of DUNE NECTAR’s support and commitment provided to me during the process of recovering my funds from fraud should be studied by many companies and business institutions. The manner of approach, humanity, and empathy, their customer service, swift response, and step-by-step guidance are out of this world, most especially when people only care about their interests nowadays. Allow me to recount my experience. I will endeavor to be brief, even though my situation was all before my interaction with DUNE NECTAR WEB EXPERT. Life has presented numerous obstacles, yet I have consistently overcome them independently. I have always held the belief that for a task to be executed flawlessly, one must undertake it personally, or so I believed, until I encountered a sophisticated crypto fraud operation. I was enticed to invest my hard-earned capital in what initially appeared to be a transformative opportunity, but it was deceptive. I believed I was generating income, but the opposite was true; I was funneling my resources to these fraudsters, who then utilized them to deceive others. I became aware of this after enlisting the services of a cybersecurity specialist to validate the authenticity of this group. I was unsurprised when DUNE NECTAR WEB EXPERT provided their forensic findings regarding this Telegram-based crypto investment group, as I had observed the indicators: they only permitted deposits and never withdrawals, despite claiming I was accruing profits. Indeed, DUNE NECTAR WEB EXPERT spared me from significant financial distress by successfully recovering my lost crypto funds and investment, as I had remitted no less than one million Canadian dollars to this investment group. I am composing this favorable testimonial for DUNE NECTAR WEB EXPERT because numerous individuals have been, are currently, and are on the verge of becoming victims of this crypto mining and trading fraud that is pervasive online. I strongly advise you to contact DUNE NECTAR WEB EXPERT for further details regarding their credibility or to recover your lost crypto assets.

  • Company Review: Cloudstrike Cyber Services

    Losing £250,000 to a Bitcoin investment scam was something I never imagined could happen to me — until it did. Like many others, I fell victim to a scheme that seemed too good to be true. I came across an advertisement on Facebook promising exceptionally high returns on cryptocurrency investments. Initially, everything appeared legitimate. The platform looked professional, deposits were processed smoothly, and I received convincing updates on my “growing” investment.

    However, things took a dark turn when I attempted to withdraw my funds. Every withdrawal failed, and repeated contact with customer service led nowhere. That was when the reality sank in — I had been scammed. The emotional toll was immense; I had lost what felt like a lifetime’s worth of hard work.

    Devastated, I confided in a close friend who recommended Cloudstrike Cyber Services— a company known for its professionalism and expertise in cybercrime recovery. Skeptical but desperate, I reached out to them. To my surprise, their team was not only responsive but deeply knowledgeable and reassuring throughout the process.

    Through their efforts, Cloudstrike was able to recover £238,000of the stolen funds. While I didn’t recover the full amount, I was incredibly grateful and relieved to reclaim the majority of what I had lost. Their transparency, ethical approach, and relentless work truly made a difference during one of the darkest moments of my life.

    If you’ve been in a similar situation, I highly recommend reaching out to Cloudstrike Cyber Services via their E-mail at (Cloudstrikecyber@gmail.com)

    They gave me hope when I thought all was lost.
