36 And Gideon said unto God, If thou wilt save Israel by mine hand, as thou hast said,
37 Behold, I will put a fleece of wool in the floor; [and] if the dew be on the fleece only, and [it be] dry upon all the earth [beside], then shall I know that thou wilt save Israel by mine hand, as thou hast said.
38 And it was so: for he rose up early on the morrow, and thrust the fleece together, and wringed the dew out of the fleece, a bowl full of water.
39 And Gideon said unto God, Let not thine anger be hot against me, and I will speak but this once: let me prove, I pray thee, but this once with the fleece; let it now be dry only upon the fleece, and upon all the ground let there be dew.
40 And God did so that night: for it was dry upon the fleece only, and there was dew on all the ground.
DONT FIND FAULT WITH GIDEON FOR THIS ACT:
We all have done it from time to time
WE ARE PROFESSIONAL FLEECE CARRYING CHRISTIANS:

16 For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ: for it is the power of God unto salvation to every one that believeth; to the Jew first, and also to the Greek.
17 For therein is the righteousness of God revealed from faith to faith: as it is written, The just shall live by faith.

IS GOD WHO HE SAYS HE IS ?
WILL HE DO ALL HE PROMISED HE WOULD DO?
IF SO WHERE IS THE PROOF?
HOW CAN WE BE ASSURED THAT HE IS REAL?
DID ANYBODY HAVE TO TELL GOD IS REAL WHEN YOU FIRST RECIEVED THE SPIRIT OF GOD?
I SUBMIT TO YOU THE LAST FLEECE THAT WAS NEEDED WAS PUT OUT BY GOD HIMSELF, THE FLEECE HAD A NAME AND IT IS JESUS CHRIST
