I do not think you are a witch but you and the rest of the Pentecostal movement are most certainly self-deluded.
Pentecostals are defined by claims of physical manifestations of supernatural abilities. Since these types of claims are by nature self-proving the lack of prima facie is damning evidence of this movement's fraudulent nature.
Just as the Mormon movement claims of supernatural manifestations are baseless so too are those of the modern Pentecostals.
So CS1, you are either self-deluded or a fraud but you are not "gifted" by God with supernatural abilities.
You simply think you are.

And, so will these who also think they are...
That is one reason why we are told we need to work out our own salvation in fear and trembling.
We all had something that we felt was good, that wanted to drag us off the path...
Leaving Pentecostalism is like having to kick a drug addiction...
In Christ .....
“Not everyone who says to me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ will enter the kingdom of heaven,
but the one who does the will of my Father who is in heaven. On that day
many will say to me, ‘Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in your name, and cast
out demons in your name, and do many mighty works in your name?’
And then will I declare to them, ‘I never knew you; depart from me, you
workers of lawlessness.’

God has called me to prophesy in California as well. He wants me to bring my message from the north of the state all the way to the south. It was the final location in the list of places He wanted to send me specifically.
I told Him I do not have the money for this trip, and He told me this time I have to go by faith. I will likely just get up and go tomorrow morning. Please pray for me and that God would provide for my journey as I go. Thank you in advance and may our Lord Jesus Christ bless you all so much!
I will share my mission's work with you when I return.

If you think that makes you a prophet, then so am I, as I have known that (what your sign says) since the 1980's.
I think you confuse being prophetic with the appointment of prophet. All Christians ought to be prophetic for the testimony of Christ is the spirit of prophecy.
Revelation 19:10
And I fell at his feet to worship him. But he said to me, “See that you do not do that! I am your fellow servant, and of your brethren who have the testimony of Jesus. Worship God! For the testimony of Jesus is the spirit of prophecy.”
To know Christ is to know where right and wrong leads.

Hypnotic state....
Professional hypnotists for entertainment hold what I call "secular Pentecostal services."
I once saw a professional hypnotist entertaining a college crowd.
He had them...
Speaking in languages not of their own upbringing.
Even had someone interpreting what was said.
Had some feeling deeply moved by love for another.
Making some feel joyous and happy on command. (laughing in the Spirit)
And, even a moment when he had some doing what was identical to what is now called 'slain in the Spirit.'
My eyes were opened wide open that night.
Drunk with holy laughter

I have provided an overview of the concept of "unction" as described in 1 John 2:20 The idea that the Holy Spirit empowers believers through anointing is central to understanding the transformative power of preaching and teaching. The word of God is powerful sharper than any double-edged sword.
In 1 John 2:20 and 2:27, the "unction" or anointing signifies an intimate connection with the Holy Spirit that equips individuals to discern truth and impart wisdom.
This divine influence can elevate a message beyond mere human effort, making it spiritually impactful.
The reference to the Gospel of John (chapters 14 and 15) underscores the theme of reliance on the Holy Spirit, who guides and teaches believers. This connection illustrates the vital role of the Holy Spirit in empowering and inspiring not only sermons but all aspects of a believer's life.
Do you want to explore how this concept is reflected in practical ministry or personal experiences? I can give you mine.
