"For we are of the circumcision, which worship God in the spirit, and rejoice in Christ Jesus, and have no confidence in the flesh." Philippians 3:3
Through the Anointing of our Father in our lives we have absolutely no reason to ever put any trust or confidence in ourselves. We never have to take thought that we have to first do something on our own that will allow God to move in our lives! We have been given the peace of our Father that passes all understanding. We have been allowed to see the Truth that we are righteous because Jesus is righteous. “For if the first fruit be holy, the lump is also holy: and if the root be holy, so are the branches.” Romans 11:16 God has freed us and we are now blessed because we have obtained righteousness apart from our own works. Our Father has now revealed the Truth to us and we no longer have to rely on ourselves or our own abilities to be right with Him. Through the revelation of who we are in Christ, we now have absolutely no confidence in human abilities!
Even our faith is not our own any longer, our faith is now Jesus’ faith. We now stand in the power of His ability to believe God. Jesus has given us the Holy Spirit, to dwell permanently within us, so that through the power of God Himself, we are now able to look to Jesus for His faith! Jesus does not stumble at the promises of our Father. He is completely confident that God is willing and that our Father is able to do all that He has spoken. This is faith, and this is what Jesus Authors and Finishes within us! Since Jesus has given us His faith, our Father is now able to work His works of righteousness through us. Our Father is able to cast out demons through us. God is able to heal the sick through us and He is able to preach the Gospel to every creature through us. Our Father does not fail and it is our Father Who always works through us.

Through Christ we will never be ashamed and we will always rejoice in our Father's Anointing! We will rejoice because Jesus has given us the faith that it is now God within us working; we no longer have to look to ourselves. People are not healed by the power of our hands being laid on them; they are healed by the power of our Father that is within us, Who led us to lay hands on them! It’s no longer us sharing the Gospel, it’s God within us sharing it! We will never be ashamed because Jesus has given us His faith that our Father is able and willing to work through us completely! Jesus Authors our faith to be just as His faith, so that we know beyond any shadow of a doubt that we can do nothing without Him. But with Jesus, God will use us to do all things! We have been empowered to not stumble at the Stumbling-stone. We have been anointed to accept the Truth that we can do nothing without our Lord Jesus and we have been saved from the lies that say we should even try. Through Christ, and our Father's Truth of who we are in Christ, we are never ashamed!
