What is the source of a heroes’ courage and strength?
Faith!
Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen.
Faith is the confidence in what we hope for and the assurance about what we do not see

If we are to be a hero for God then we must put our confidence in God’s strength, we must be completely sure in our minds, even though we do not see it with out eyes sometimes, we must be assured that God is strong. For it is our faith in God that gives us our strength.
33 Who through faith subdued kingdoms, wrought righteousness, obtained promises, stopped the mouths of lions,
34 Quenched the violence of fire, escaped the edge of the sword, out of weakness were made strong, waxed valiant in fight, turned to flight the armies of the aliens.
When you think of the strongest man in the Bible who comes to mind?

If we are to be heroes of God, one of the firs thing that we need to realize is that our strength is not our own.
9 And he said unto me, My grace is sufficient for thee: for my strength is made perfect in weakness. Most gladly therefore will I rather glory in my infirmities, that the power of Christ may rest upon me.
2 Cor 12.
