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.

  • Brunoe Quick H a c k  Crypt0 Rec0very is a trusted and dependable hacker. I am Miss Katrina M. Williams-Wright Frankel, residing in Gainesville Georgia, United States. As a single mother of two children, I unfortunately fell victim to a deceptive individual I encountered on social media. This person manipulated my trust, leading me to believe that he possessed the ability to guide me towards lucrative investments and quick profits. However, the outcome was far from what I had hoped for.
    In my pursuit of earning enough profit to secure a house, I made the decision to invest all my savings into a trading stock platform. However, after five months, I discovered that the website had abruptly shut down, and the person who had convinced me to invest was nowhere to be found. It was a devastating realization that I had been scammed. The situation left me feeling desperate and even contemplating ending my own life. It was during this low point that I came across an article about the Crypto Recovery Service provided by Bruno, and I decided to reach out to them. Remarkably, within just 48 hours of availing their services, I was able to recover everything I had lost. I am incredibly grateful to Brunoe Quick Ha for their assistance in resolving this distressing situation. you contact him for more info. WhatsApp  (+) 170578——42635——

  • Just as farmers feed pigs to fatten them up until they reach market size, such is the nature of the “Pig Butchering Scam”—a cruel and calculated scheme I recently experienced. It nearly cost me my life and left me feeling hopeless, until I came across SpyHost Cybersecurity Company.

    How did it all start?

    It began when I stumbled upon a widely advertised investment company on Meta (Facebook), promising unbelievably high returns. Blinded by the hope of securing a better future for my children and future generations, I invested everything I had—10 BTC. In hindsight, it was greed and desperation that led me into such a devastating trap. But life sometimes throws us into the worst situations so that we can learn the hardest lessons and gain invaluable experience.

    At this point, I urge everyone out there to be extremely cautious with any investment opportunity that seems too good to be true—because it probably is.

    Fortunately, my story took a positive turn when a member of a social media group I belonged to referred me to SpyHost Cybersecurity Company. Skeptical but desperate, I decided to give them a try. To my absolute astonishment, they turned out to be legitimate experts in crypto asset recovery.

    From the moment the recovery process started, I was speechless. I had heard of hackers and cybersecurity specialists before, but SPYHOST truly exceeded all expectations. Within 72 hours, they recovered my lost funds using advanced tools and software—some of which are only available on the dark web. They described my case as “severe,” making the successful recovery even more impressive and a testament to their expertise.

    SPYHOST CYBERSECURITY can be contacted via:

    [Spyhost@cyberdude.com] or WhatsApp: +1 (228) 313‑3152

    This is the least I can do to show my gratitude—and to help others who might be going through a similar situation. If you’re a victim of crypto fraud, do not lose hope. Reach out to SPYHOST. They are the best in the field.
