Spend Time at the Throne
by Jesse Duplantis
People often say to me, “Brother Jesse, you have such a unique relationship with God. Why is that?”
I think they are expecting a big philosophical answer, but that’s not what I give them. I simply tell them what I’m telling you: “I spend time with God. I spend time at the throne.”
I love being with God.
When we’re alone I ask Him, “What are Your aspirations, Lord? What do You want to do today, God?” I just talk to Him. I ask Him how He is feeling.
You see, I know God so well and I fellowship with Him so much during my throne time, I can sense when He isn’t feeling right. For example, the other day I went into my study to do my Bible study and talk to the Lord a little bit, and God just wasn’t Himself. So I said, “Lord, is something wrong?”
He said, 'Yeah…you know Me, Jesse.'
I asked, “What’s the matter, Lord?”
He said, 'My people have disobeyed Me today.'
I could sense He was hurt the same way I can tell when my wife, Cathy, is feeling hurt, because I know God. I have spent many hours with Him. I’ve heard Him laugh. I’ve heard Him talk. He has shared secrets with me.
Now, that may shock some of you and make the theologians downright mad, but that same kind of close relationship is available to anyone who will invest in throne time.
