News, Fear, and the Business of Keeping You Anxious

News, Fear, and the Business of Keeping You Anxious

The news industry is not a ministry of truth. It’s a business model built on:

• Fear

• Outrage

• Constant crisis

The formula:

1. Scare you.
2. Keep you watching.
3. Sell your attention.

If you don’t understand this, you’ll confuse being informed with being discipled by fear.

Fear Sells. Peace Does Not.

Headlines are crafted to:

• Trigger panic

• Stir anger

• Make you feel like the world is ending every 15 minutes

Ironically, YAHUSHA already told us:

• There would be wars, rumors of wars, pestilence, earthquakes.

• Hearts would fail from fear.

The news profits off what prophecy already warned.

Symptoms of Fear Discipleship

• You can’t go a day without checking headlines.

• Your mood rises and falls with global events.

• You feel hopeless and paralyzed instead of prayerful and focused.

• You talk more about “breaking news” than the Kingdom.

That’s not information. That’s bondage.

How to Stay Awake Without Being Consumed

1. Limit Your Intake

Set times you check news—don’t live in it.

1. Choose Sources Intentionally

Look for information, not constant emotional manipulation.

1. Pray the Headlines

Turn news into intercession, not anxiety.

1. Remember the Bigger Story

YAHUSHA is not surprised by any headline. The Kingdom is not shaken.

Mental Health and the 24/7 Crisis Feed

Many are:

• Already exhausted

• Already traumatized

• Already on edge

The constant crisis feed:

• Keeps your nervous system on high alert

• Makes small personal problems feel like “the last straw”

• Steals your ability to rest

You were not built to carry the emotional weight of global news constantly.

Kingdom Perspective

We are called to:

• Watch

• Pray

• Discern the times

We are not called to:

• Absorb every detail of every disaster

• Live in dread

• Spread panic

The remnant doesn’t hide from reality. We just refuse to let the news be our shepherd.

Final Call

Ask yourself:

“Is my news habit feeding fear or fueling prayer?”

If fear wins, shut some gates.

Let the peace of YAHUAH rule your heart— not the daily fear report.
