Gideon was addressed as "mighty man of valor." Mary as "highly favored one." It is not a coincidence that God called them by such terms not after they completed their purpose, but before. This is how they were addressed from the outset then God called them to step into the appointed time of their destiny.

You have a Messenger of Courage within you, a Helper, the Spirit of Truth, and He is calling to you like He did Gideon and Mary, already addressing you as beloved and a victor, not just hopeful of such. He wants to visit you, meet you, and call to the courage He already sees within you. He wants you to see yourself as He does -- carrying out your Christ calling) -- and He is imparting to you the courage necessary to leap out and seize the moment that is only just beyond your reach.

He is calling you "Mighty" or "Favored" to remind you of your Christ identity. Now that you know who you are, you know what to do next.

1 John 2:20 - "But you have been anointed by the Holy One, and you all have knowledge."

Acts 26:24-25  -  "Now as he thus made his defense, Festus said with a loud voice, 'Paul, you are beside yourself! Much learning is driving you mad!'  But he (Paul) said, "I am not mad, most noble Festus, but speak the words of truth and reason."

           The words "beside yourself" mean to rave as a maniac, and it's the idea of incessant craving.  Festus accused Paul of being crazy.

         Modern culture is not drawn to Christianity because the little they are exposed to is not extreme enough for them.  What the world really wants to see is a Christian (YOU) who is totally enthralled with who Jesus is.  Your spiritual learning shouldn't be just systematic theology books, but a distinguishable, crazy love that goes public.
