I TALK ABOUT ISOLATION a lot, because I struggle against it. When I’m attacked, my flesh wants to isolate. When I feel rejected and abandoned, I tend to isolate and shut out the world. But I FIGHT! Solitude is about time alone with God, but isolation is about shutting everyone out. Here’s why isolation is dangerous: the enemy walks about like a roaring lion seeking whom he may devour. Isolation makes you the perfect prey for the enemy. Ask any predator. Satan’s technique for destruction is to deceive, and he’s a master of deception and disguises. Isolation allows you to believe your own lies. You can even read Scripture in isolation but the enemy will twist and manipulate it and lie to you, “did God really say?” I have seen MANY fall away from the truth because they shut themselves out of the Body and rejected sound wisdom. Isolation is kin to rebellion. The isolated person refuses to submit to God’s ordained authority and in pride refuses to answer to anyone or to work along side another in the bond of peace. Think about this: Jesus had to tell 5 out of 7 (70%) churches they had gross sin and did not even know it! How much MORE is the isolator in deception? The enemy of your soul is not playing around. Time is short. “Those who are PLANTED in the house of the LORD Shall flourish in the courts of our God.” Psalms‬ ‭92:13‬ ‭NKJV‬‬ #runyourrace
