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.

  • Thank you EXNER HACKER for the kindness you showed me and for being so loyal in my lost funds recovery process. You just saved my life big time. I am glad that you were also able to hand me over the scammers and now they are being dealt with by the law. Well, this all was a dream as I clearly informed you when we successfully got the funds back to the last dime. I can finally put my aging mum into a good nursing home and I can successfully finish my medical course. When I first heard about The EXNER HACKER, I was in the bank where I met my school mentor and I happened to mention my troubles. She didn’t hesitate to mention EXNER HACKER as she herself had received their services earlier on. As we speak, my $291,000 is successfully deposited in my account. All is well and I am one happy fulfilled person. If you need funds and cryptocurrency related help, seek this company out at:

  • Platforms that promise enormous rewards should be avoided. They entice consumers to join fraudulent programs. Last year, I was defrauded of 198,450 USD. I found multiple suggestions regarding morgan specialists in the Bitcoin Abuse Forum when trying to get my money back. I emailed him at Morganhackspecialist@consultant.com, and he assisted me in getting my money back that had been pilfered. Please contact morgan specialist and thank me later if you have likewise fallen victim to money scams.

  • THE BEST WAY TO RECOVER YOUR LOST FUNDS OR CRYPTO

    I never thought I would fall victim to a crypto scam until I was convinced of a crypto investment scam that saw me lose all my entire assets worth $487,000 to a crypto investment manager who convinced me I could earn more from my investment. I thought it was all gone for good but I kept looking for ways to get back my stolen crypto assets and finally came across Captain Jack Crypto Recovery, a crypto recovery company that has been very successful in the recovery of crypto for many other victims of crypto scams and people who lost access to their crypto. I’m truly grateful for their help as I was able to recover my stolen crypto assets and get my life back together. I highly recommend their services
