The "Next level" of anything you want and have been praying for requires a next level of humility, love, and obedience.

What I'm saying in essence is: it will be quite dangerous both to you and everyone if you levitate to your next level with pride, hatred and disobedience.
Pray that God should help you kill pride, love more, and show timely 100% obedience. That's all you need to access your "Next level".

Pride exist sometimes in subtle ways that we cannot see. You know the difference between pride and self esteem right?
Did you know there is a level of self esteem that can be rightly described as pride?

Please always evaluate yourself. Some of the things that make people say "I can't take that nonsense", "I'm not a fool", "I'm not a little child", etc may just be manifestations of pride, not self-esteem. 
Revenge is also as a result of pride.

Hatred is the end product of jealousy, envy, and pride. These things have a subtle way which they exist in people's lives. Sometimes you can't see them no matter how hard you check with your natural eyes and senses that's why you need to pray.

If you still struggle with pride, then you've not been praying enough. Because prayers weaken pride. Try it (prayers) and see.

If you have dealt with pride, hatred will naturally leave you and it becomes very much easier to obey God timely and 100%.
Because it is pride and hatred that make people struggle to obey God.

In fact, we cannot obey "Love your neighbour as you love yourself" (which is one of the greatest commandments from God) when we've not dealt with pride and hatred.

How do you correctly love a person you feel you're overly superior over and hence (s)he has nothing to offer? 
How do you love a person you're not comfortable with? (That's a way we cunningly say we don't like people)
Sometimes, we can't even show love correctly to people because there's an underlying judgement we have passed against them in our hearts. Meanwhile these judgements are just unverified assumptions ooh.

The bottom line of what I'm trying to say is: Love should be your first target before you aim for greater heights. It (love) is the necessary ingredient you need for character development that will get you prepared and ready for greater heights. Greatness without love in one's heart will turn one into a beast without mercy, that's a tool of mass destruction. Love, on the other hand, turns you into a tool for mass instruction.

God help us all
