A Different Nature for your Present Atmosphere
When I begin to describe who Christ is, He causes something in me to rise above my situation. I become somebody different than I normally am. I take on a different nature. I become a different kind of person because when I declare Him, somehow I begin to do something I wouldn’t normally do.
The only way out is not possible in myself, so I have to be transformed into a different creature. How many of you understand that if you are in the water, being an eagle can’t save you? You have to become a fish to swim. And if you’re on the ground, being a fish can’t help you. You better have legs and if you’re in the sky, you cannot say, ‘I want to swim,’ because you better have wings. So you need to operate in a spiritual atmosphere that cannot overwhelm you. And to do so, you’re going to have to call upon Him.
If I take on Christ’s nature, then I become transformed. I become different and then what the enemy thought he had, is a different person now – one that he cannot overcome. - Apostle Anthony Nelson. Taken from the Apostolic Training Center, Sun. Jul. 18, 2010
