An Open Letter to Gregory Dickow:
You have been a great help to me in my spiritual walk. I had no idea
that the mind had anything to do with success in the Christian life. I
came from a Fundamental Baptist background, and all I did was "punish"
myself for not feeling or thinking the way I thought a Christian
should. It actually led me to attempt suicide two times after I got
saved because I felt that God was mad at me for being a failure as a
Christian.
I was not able to fully take part in the first 40 day fast. However, I
want to go through the second fast. But I want this fast to mean
something to me, to believers, and to non-believers alike. People,
myself included, are sick and tired of being told about the power of
God, and yet nothing in their lives changes. Most Christians live
defeated lives that makes the unsaved look blessed.
I love the Lord. I am a saved man. Yet, I live a life of fear, lack,
frustration, and depression. Oftentimes I don't have enough energy to
even get out of bed. By God's grace I get up and support my family.
But I enjoy very little of it. In fact, if I was told I had a terminal
illness then I wouldn't even have any pray over me for healing.
I'm going to be the guy standing between Elijah and the worshippers of
Baal. I don't believe in Baal. I belive in the true God, but I
challenge Him to show me, other Christians, and especially
unbelievers, His power. How do I propose to do this? I will buy a
video camera and record my fast from day 1 until day 40, and put it on
a Podcast for others to see. It will serve as a video journal. If this
works, then it will benefit EVERYONE. If it doesn't, then your
movement will be seen as a scam.
Pastor, I challenge your faith as well as mine, and the faith of other
Christians out there. I will provide the camera, and setup the
podcasts. I just need your site to host them. Imagine the possibility
of actually documenting God's power at work. Please, let's partner
together and do this. What do we have to lose if we really trust God?
