Jesus Is Our Confidence

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 God in our lives we have absolutely no reason to ever put any trust or confidence in ourselves to do anything that would allow Him to move in our lives! We have been given the peace of our Father that passes all understanding and God has allowed us to see the Truth that we are only 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 

Our Father has freed us and we are now blessed because we have obtained righteousness apart from our own works. God 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 no confidence in human abilities!

Even our faith is not our own, our faith is now Jesus’ faith. We now stand in the power of Jesus’ ability to believe the Truth. 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 God, He is completely confident that our Father is willing and that He 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. God is able to cast out demons through us, God is able to heal the sick through us, and God is able to preach the Gospel to every creature through us. God does not fail and with Him working through us, we will never be ashamed and we will always rejoice in His Anointing! 

We will rejoice because Jesus has given us the faith that it is our Father working within us and 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 our Father within us preaching! We will never be ashamed because Jesus has given us His faith that God 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, our Father 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 on our own and we have been saved from the lies that say we should even try. Through Christ, and God’s Truth of who we are in Christ, we are never ashamed!
