“Anointed but Wobbly: Why Stability Matters More Than Spiritual Hype”

Scripture: James 1:8
“A double-minded man is unstable in all his ways.”
James doesn’t say unstable sometimes.He says unstable in all his ways.
That means your instability doesn’t just show up in church—it shows up in your relationships, your emotions, your finances, and your decision-making.
You pray one way… but live another.You talk holy… yet move shady.You shout on Sunday… and sneak on Monday.
And then we have the nerve to ask, “Lord, why does my life feel off?”
Because your life has the same consistency as bad Wi-Fi.
One moment you’re connected—hands lifted, tears flowing, feeling the Spirit.The next moment you buffering, reconnecting, and blaming the router.
😬
The truth is simple but uncomfortable:
The only thing that will make or break you is your stability.
Not your shout.Not your gift.Not how many scriptures you post with filters and hashtags.
Because you can be gifted and still be flaky.You can be anointed and still be unreliable.You can know Scripture and still not be solid.
A few months ago, I injured my ankle. Nothing dramatic. Just life. I stepped out of the car and pain shot through my body so fast it humbled me immediately. For a moment, I literally couldn’t walk.
I didn’t need motivation.I didn’t need encouragement.I needed support.
That old wooden cane I found didn’t mean I was weak—it meant I was wise enough to stabilize myself before trying to carry more weight. Because without stability, even strength becomes dangerous.
God speaks to us the same way:“Until you get stable, I can’t trust you with more.”
You don’t fall because you lack power.You fall because you’re trying to carry weight on an unstable foundation.
Closing Thought:
You don’t fall because you lack anointing—you fall because you lack support.
