The Devil and His Angels are said: "This genus cannot come out
otherwise than from prayer and fasting" (Mark 9.29).
The Pharisees loved fasting (Matthew 6.16, Luke 18.12).
Jesus said that the post should be secret and invisible to the people
(Matthew 6.16-18). This position is better than obvious.
No one has the right to compel anyone to fast or to appoint a post. It's
a Christian personal matter.
From the dictionary: a post (Jewish "person"-צום) is a period when a person does not eat or drink anything.
Examples of posts:
Matthew 4.1-2 - Christ's post led to victory over the devil.

Jonah 3.1-10 - preaching ions from the post prevented the destruction of
Nineveh

who can be healthy when he considers it necessary and necessary.

I have chosen: let the shackles of the wrong, untie the bonds of yoke, and
oppressed be released, and break any yoke;" Share with the hungry thy
bread, and wandering the poor to enter the house; When you see the naked guy,
put him on, and half-brother your glide. "Then the dawn, Thy light, and
thy healing will grow soon, and thy truth shall go in front of thee, and the
glory of the Lord will accompany you" (Isaiah 58.6-8).

Today, we also need a post. What are the reasons today
That the Lord calls us to practice the post?
• Repentance with fasting and prayer.
< < But now the Lord also speaks: please contact me with your
heart in
Fast, weep, and weeping. Tear your your hearts, not your clothes, and
Contact the Lord your God; For he is good and mercy,
Long-suffering and merciful, and regrets the calamity. (Joel 2.12-15).
• The post is necessary to awaken the spirituality of the people of God.

An example of the life of a prophet of our time: < < ... This

Your clothes, and contact the Lord your God; For he is good and
Mercy, long-suffering and merciful, and regrets the calamity.
(Joel 2.12).

Such fasting and repentance, the Lord will fulfil his promises: <

(Joel 2.28-29).
In Orthodoxy and Catholicism, the post is called a ban on the use of
some (SKOROMNYH) products. These are two days a week (Wednesday and Friday) and
four prolonged posts, such as a great post before Easter (50 days) with a ban
on meat and dairy products and small easing in some numbers. It's a diet, but
it's proven to be medically helpful in cleaning up and strengthening the body.
The so-called practice of the spirit with fasting and starvation suits
the Buddhists, mostly the monks.
Judaism has several calendar dates with a post of not more than one day.
The main one is the post at Yom Kippur. It should be remembered that the dry
strike is dangerous because it is not everyone's choice.
Muslim posts and, in particular, the fast month of Ramadan, are
particularly original. The last meal, which is banned in the day for a month,
unfortunately, the meaning and usefulness of the food is not enough, in
contrast, it may be damaging to health in the dark time of day, especially late
in the evening.
