e you feeling stuck in spiritual circles? Moving through the same issues, challenges and patterns without finding your exit? Many believers find themselves on a spiritual roundabout - saved and serving, yet sensing there's something more God has called them to.


The In-Between Place

Just like David, who was anointed as king yet spent years tending sheep, believers often find themselves in an "in-between" season. You know God has spoken promises over your life. You've experienced His presence and power. Yet you keep circling the same issues, unsure which exit to take.


Jeremiah 6:16 provides crucial guidance for these moments: "Stop at the crossroads and look around. Ask for the old, godly way and walk in it. Travel its path, and you will find rest for your souls."


God is calling His people to pause - not in confusion or defeat, but in holy anticipation. This pause allows you to:

  • Listen for His specific direction

  • Discern the right exit from your circular patterns

  • Position yourself for supernatural breakthrough


Moving from Natural to Supernatural

The supernatural realm should be the natural realm for believers. Yet many Christians live far beneath their spiritual privileges and potential. Why? Because making the shift requires both faith AND obedience working together.


Consider these biblical examples:

  • Naaman had to dip seven times in the Jordan (2 Kings 5)

  • The ten lepers were healed as they went to show themselves to the priests (Luke 17)

  • Peter had to let down his nets again after fishing all night (Luke 5)


In each case, supernatural breakthrough required natural obedience. The same principle applies today. God often asks us to take natural steps of obedience to position ourselves for supernatural results.


Developing a Supernatural Craving

The key to sustained supernatural living is developing an insatiable hunger for God's presence and power. A "little dab" of spirituality won't suffice in these last days.


The church needs believers who:

  • Yearn deeply for God's manifest presence

  • Maintain a consistent prayer life

  • Stay rooted in God's Word

  • Respond quickly to the Spirit's leading

  • Live ready for divine appointments


This supernatural craving distinguishes those who merely attend church from those who carry God's presence wherever they go.


Taking Your Exit: Practical Steps Forward

How do you move from circular patterns into supernatural purpose? Here are key steps:

  1. Speak God's Word - Like Abraham, begin declaring what God says about you and your situation. Your words matter.

  2. Act on Your Faith - Faith without corresponding action remains dormant. What natural step of obedience is God asking you to take?

  3. Stay Positioned - Like the 120 in the upper room, maintain your spiritual position until breakthrough comes.

  4. Embrace Process - Sometimes God uses natural responsibilities to develop supernatural character. Be faithful in small things.

  5. Keep Growing - Don't settle for past experiences. Press into greater dimensions of God's presence and power.


The Call to Action

The time for circling the same issues is over. God is positioning His church for supernatural demonstration in these last days. But experiencing this requires choices on your part.


Will you:

  • Get off the roundabout of familiar patterns?

  • Take the exit God is showing you?

  • Step into the supernatural realm He's prepared?


The promise of Mark 11:23-24 remains true: "Whatsoever you desire, when you pray, believe that you receive them, and you shall have them." But remember - if it's going to be, it's up to thee. God has already done His part through Christ. Now it's time for His people to arise and walk in supernatural authority and purpose.


Don't let fear, doubt or past failures keep you circling. Take your God-ordained exit today. Your expanded territory and supernatural breakthrough await.
