As I sit here and write I think of how many people strive toward destinations without the necessary pre-conditions(prerequisites) that are required to arrive at the destination which they are seeking. Why would I seek to drive from Ohio to Florida without the proper pre-condition called "fuel." Why would someone seek to enroll in college knowing that they never finished high school. Lacking the necessary pre-conditions can cause one to never arrive at their destination. People have destinations that relate to marriage, anointings, elevation, worship, careers, ministry, and finances.
Many individuals seek after natural destinations (i.e. relationships), but there are those who also desire to reach spiritual destinations(i.e. higher consecration) . Whenever I seek the presence of God there is a level of humility that must be within me before I can tap into His atmosphere. Just as specific keys are used for specific homes, there is a certain key which is required to enter the dwelling place of God's presence. There is a pre-condition which must be met before one can enter God's atmosphere. Just as a vehicle recognizes the proper ignition key; God recognizes the proper(authentic) spirit. Do you have this authentic spirit(key) called the Holy Ghost?

As a people we overall lack humility and reverence. He is not just a god, but the Almighty God king of kings and lord of lords. People can think that they can come to God anyway and any how. As a sinner, you come as you are, you don't have to fight for his love or affection, but to initiate your steps towards him is through repentance and then other factors of salvation come into play. After that he expects you to change.
If we truly desire to enter into that secret place with God, we need to examine our motives and repent and ask God to truly manifest himself, for him to open our eyes that we might see, open our ears that we may heart and soften our hearts that we may understand and recieve.
