Several years ago I wrote a book entitled Change Agent: Engaging your passion to be the one who makes a difference. During the writing of that book I discovered 6 unique stages God took his leaders through to become His change agents. \n\nOne of the 6 stages I discovered was an Isolation Stage. It seems God often set aside a leader away from his normal life for a greater purpose. For some it was jail time like the apostle Paul. Paul wrote many of his epistles when he was imprisoned. This would be said of Jeremiah, Isaiah and many others. And He has made My mouth like a sharp sword; in the shadow of His hand He has hidden Me, and made Me a polished shaft; in His quiver He has hidden Me\u201d (Isa 49:2).\n\nThe apostle John was put on the Island of Patmos where he received the vision of Revelation. He did not die on this island, but God used his isolation on Patmos to download an important part of the Bible for God\u2019s people. \n\nJohn Bunyan was imprisoned twelve years for preaching the Gospel. What came from his time in prison was one of Christianity\u2019s greatest classics \u2013 Pilgrim\u2019s Progress. \n\nIn this brief podcast hear Os explain\n-the importance of Isolation times and how God uses them\n-what you should do during times of isolation\n-why isolation could be the catalyst for a breakthrough in your life\n-why isolation can be God\u2019s assigned time
