Jan Van Reenen- Fearless Courage

Jan van Reenan explained how he used to think of the gift of encouragement as a “lower class gift” until he needing encouraging, he then realised the value and importance of Godly encouragement. When the devil accuses us we need the Holy Spirit to comfort and encourage us, to remind us of who we are in Christ. Jan used the story of Gideon from Judges 6 to encourage us. The voice we listen to will forge our identity. Gideon thought he was the brunt of the litter - he had been told this all his life. God is upgrading your identity to prepare you for a new level of authority.
