Second, you need to remain humble. This means that you will have to endure mockings, ridicule, scorn, and scoffers. You will have to understand that you are going to be misunderstood and misrepresented. You will have endure all of it with a good attitude. Read his books, and make them a study.

Also, study the life of Bro. Barnes, Sis. Eastridge, Sis. Ellis, and Bro. and Sis. Freeman. Every one of these people lived in that realm that you wish to enter.

Remain accountable to holy men of God. This will help you to remain grounded, and will help you to avoid going into false doctrine. Be faithful to God, and He will be faithful to you.

I hope that this is helpful. This is by far not the only things, but I do hope that they help. I am not there, but I would like to be myself.

I don't think the goal should ever be to "attain" certain heights or depths. It should solely be to seek after Christ. The by product of a close relationship w Him is the fruit of the Spirit and the gifts of the Spirit. Seeking God with any other motive is wrong.
