For me, the answer is simple: God chose Jesus Christ. The NT repeats this refrain over and over. Don't ever take your eyes off God's selection and you'll do fine. "We have the prophetic word made firm" - it is Jesus. There can by definition be none else. The NT is utterly clear on this point.
The danger of the performance-based 'charismatic' experience is that the enemy can distract you to focus on yourself.
"Hey, Ma! Look at me! I'm exercising my spirit!"
Now you become the subject of attention, not Jesus. The self has found a new cloak, labeled "enjoyment" or whatnot.
