Judges 6:25-40
Gideon tore down hisfather’s altar to Baal and cut down the Asherah pole beside it. Then build a proper kind of altar to the Lord on the top of this height. Using the wood of the Asherah pole that he cut down, offer the second bull as a burnt offering.
When people found their gods Baal was demolished, they demanded of Joash bring his son Gideon. His father replied "If Baal really is a god, he can defend himself when someone breaks down his altar"
Gideon asked God second times to confirm that the Lord is with him to conquer the Midianites, Amalekites and other eastern peoples united enemy with the fleece as sign.
Why?
Ask the Lord for sign is allowed to follow God's command, in case the idea or mind is come from our own mind.
If Baal really is a god , he can defend himself. And Baal is not a really god. But the Lord is a really god, his love and righteousness endure forever. Our God listen to my prayer and blesses me.
How?
Fear the Lord and protect our heart with Him. He is the Lord!
