The Purpose of Isolation
The Purpose of Isolation
Friend, there’s so much I didn’t put in my book. Sometimes God puts something on my spirit and I just write it down or make a quick voiceover video. But today, as I was building this site and saw “add blog page,” I instantly knew what my first post had to be: Isolation.
Maybe you’re already in that season right now. Or maybe you feel like God is pulling you away from certain people or things and you don’t fully understand why. Even if you’re not there yet, keep reading — because one day you might be, and you’ll remember this.
What Isolation Really Felt Like
My isolation didn’t look like people slowly cutting me off. It looked like betrayal. God allowed everybody around me to show their true colors so I would have no choice but to let them go. One by one, people I trusted exposed themselves.
At first it felt painful, like everything was being stripped away. And truth is — it was. God took away false connections, false comfort, and false security. But I learned that what felt like loss was really His protection.
Isolation isn’t punishment. It’s God cleaning house. It’s Him removing what can’t go with you into your next season.
What I Learned in the Quiet
During that time, I cried a lot. I prayed even more. I fasted because the attacks didn’t stop — they increased. But in the middle of all that, I found peace.
The more time I spent with God, the more He revealed. He showed me who my enemies really were, the spirits behind them, and most importantly, who I am and what I’m called to do.
It wasn’t easy. Some of the revelations cut deep — especially realizing that familiar spirits I felt in Walter were the same I had grown up around. But isolation helped me see patterns and break them. It forced me to hear God clearly and face truth I couldn’t ignore anymore.
Why God Separates You
People love to say, “God separates you because you’re about to elevate.” And while that’s true, I’ve learned it’s not just about elevation.
God separates you to:
• Protect you from what you can’t see.
• Heal wounds you’ve been ignoring.
• Reveal your identity and calling.
• Strengthen you for what’s ahead.
It’s not a quick process. You won’t see fruit in two months. Sometimes it takes years. But if you stay obedient and trust Him, the isolation season will shape you into someone stronger than ever.
My Breakthrough Moment
The week I finally chose me, everything shifted. God confirmed everything He had already shown me. He told me to delete all my social media, to be still, and to fully surrender.
And when I obeyed? The chains broke.
I chose God. I chose obedience. I chose me.
And I never looked back.
For You, Friend
So if you’re in isolation right now — don’t mistake it for abandonment. If you feel like you’re entering it, don’t fight it. And if you’re not there yet, keep this in your heart, because the time will come.
Isolation isn’t God punishing you. It’s Him protecting, healing, and preparing you. It will break you down, yes. But it will also build you up. On the other side of obedience is breakthrough. On the other side of surrender is freedom.
And when it’s all said and done, you’ll look back and realize isolation was one of the best gifts God ever gave you.
