The truth is that God has given us all things in Christ, we are blessed with all the spiritual blessings in the heavenlies (Eph 1:3). In Christ you are already in heaven seated with God and beholding His face, it's just that you are not yet awaken to this reality in your flesh. There is no need begging and asking God for something He has already given you in Christ. Instead you should be rejoicing and praising Him for this wonderful reality.
To be awakened to this reality in your flesh only needs pressing in. It requires exercising your flesh to experience the reality of the Spirit. Begging God to give you these things is like a body builder begging God to give him large muscles. The potency to have large muscles is already in him, it has been given to him through Adam, now all he needs is exercises that would bring out that reality made available to him through Adam.
“And so it is written, The first man Adam was made a living soul; the last Adam was made a quickening spirit.” (1Cor 15:45).
Christ is the new Adam, and through Him God has provided for us the potential to see Him, in fact we already see Him in our spirit, we only need to work out this reality in our flesh through exercises in fellowship with the Holy. All you need is to know the exercise you need to practice and develop a lifestyle of practicing the same way a body builder will develop a lifestyle of going to the gym.
It is not going to happen like magic, it would take time. You do not attain large muscles by spend just one day in the gym. No matter the kind of exercise you do it will not happen, in fact it would look like nothing is happen. You will look at your body and you will not feel your muscles have increased, but continue that way, develop a lifestyle of going to the gym, let it become an hubby even though if you hate exercise, then over time you will begin to see changes on your body, so it is with the things of the spirit. All that you need is exercise and these exercises are the things I would be sharing with the student in my course (Oneness With God).
Just as one would need a couch or personal trainer in the gym, you also need an expert, one with the knowledge and experience to decide for you the kind of exercise that you need (base on your unique situation) to attain these spiritual things. Our flesh is structure differently, some people, due to the way they are in the flesh (not because of any spiritual reason) would easily attain certain spiritual things. For example, I am a kind of person who pays more attention to his thoughts and the things going on in his head than the things in the outside world. Because of this it was easier for me to know and recognize God’s voice, in fact before I got born again I could already recognize the voice of the Holy Spirit persuading me to give my life to Christ so he could come inside of me. No, it wasn’t because I have some special calling, but because of the way I am structured in the flesh.
So some people might easily attain certain spiritual things faster than other, and you might struggle in attain certain spiritual things, but that doesn’t mean it is not for you. The fullness of God is our right as sons, it is our inheritance, everything is for you. You only need to know the kind of exercise that that will help you attain that thing despite the way you are structured in the flesh. Just as in the gym some people are fatter and need more exercise, while some people need specific kind of exercise because of specific reasons. For example one may go to the gym because he wants a flat or muscular belly. It would be foolish if this person invest his/her time in the gym doing the exercise of those looking to have a bigger chest or arms. His/her goal would be easily achieved if he knows the specific exercise for getting a flat or muscular belly, and if energy is focuses more on doing this exercise.
The point I am trying to make is that you can attain these spiritual things, it is your right as a son. You only need exercise.
