Proverbs 12:22 Lying lips are an abomination to the LORD, but those who act faithfully are his delight. (ESV)
We’re living in some pretty wild times, aren’t we? Over the past few weeks, we’ve watched a political earthquake shake America, sending ripple effects all over the world. Some people see it as a positive change, others think it’s for the worse — but one thing is clear: we are in a season of shifting. And the big question is, will we take this opportunity to boldly stand for truth while the doors are open?
Just yesterday, an eye-opening report came out about the newly formed Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE). Turns out, government funds were being funneled to support left-leaning news outlets, including Politico. Well, those funds just got cut, and—coincidence or not—Politico suddenly announced they couldn’t pay their employees this week due to an “accounting glitch.” Some are wondering if there’s a connection.
Now, these major media outlets are scrambling to stay afloat because they weren’t operating on free-market principles—they were being propped up by the very government they were supposed to hold accountable! Instead of reporting the facts, they became mouthpieces for a narrative.
News should be about truth—giving people facts, not propaganda. And for those of us in the body of Christ, we need to be informed so we can pray effectively and stand for righteousness in our culture.
If you’ve followed Worthy News for any length of time, you’ve probably noticed a big shift in how we report the news. When we started, we functioned a lot like the Drudge Report, linking to other media sources. But as time went on, we could no longer in good conscience continue pointing people to the same outlets that were spinning stories instead of reporting the truth. So we faced a choice: Do we shut down Worthy News? Or do we take a leap of faith, hire our own journalists, and trust God to provide.
We chose faith! Unlike mainstream outlets, we don’t run on ads, government funding, or corporate sponsors. We run on one simple principle: “If it’s God’s will, then it’s God’s bill!”
And let me tell you—our bills skyrocketed when we made this shift. But God has remained faithful!
We don’t send out appeal letters or fundraise aggressively. Honestly, between traveling, speaking, homeschooling, writing, running our online ministry, and managing our work in Israel, we sometimes even forget to thank our supporters (and I need to get better at that!). But at the end of the day, this is God’s business — He called us to be watchmen on the wall, and our job is simply to obey.
Even though Google and Facebook actively suppress our content, our readership has exploded over the past few years. Every week, over a million pages are being read across our network of sites!
Want proof of the censorship? Do a Google search for “Christian news” and try to find us—we’re buried somewhere in the 90s (before COVID, we were consistently in the top 10). But do that same search on Bing, Yahoo, or DuckDuckGo, and you’ll find us in the top 20.
You see, truth always finds a way to break through. As the old saying goes: “A lie can travel halfway around the world while the truth is putting on its shoes.”
So what’s the takeaway here? Keep proclaiming the truth! Don’t let the world intimidate you. The enemy wants to silence God’s people, but we are called to declare that Yeshua (Jesus) is coming soon!
Yes, the world will try to suppress, censor, and silence us — but when we’re doing God’s work, truth has a way of coming out. And when it does? It kicks the lies right out the door!
So stand strong, keep speaking the truth boldly, walk in His will, and trust that God will take care of the rest!

[worthy_plugins_devotion_single_body]As we’ve been traveling across the United States, one of the messages we’ve been carrying is being a minister of reconciliation for bringing restoration of relationship between parties that have been divided and wounded.
As we’ve been traveling across the United States, the spiritual warfare is more tangible than ever before. Whereas years ago, it was done in secret, open, and public occult demonic activity is increasing in numerous places. We are facing principalities and powers in heavenly places and here on Earth, and we must fight as the saints of old, with the spiritual weapons of faith, and the sword of the Spirit which is the word of God. And ultimately it IS His battle.
Samson is a powerful example of a man of God who won his battles over and over again because the Spirit of the Lord came upon him. Yet when he was finally defeated by Delilah's temptations he didn’t realize that the Lord had left him, so effective was the woman's spell...
When Saul was king of Israel, there were no giant slayers in their midst; so when Goliath stood against the armies of Israel, the Israelites trembled! There was, however, a young shepherd, whose intimate knowledge of His God inspired and empowered him to fight the evil giant, and defeat him.
An ancient story is told of a King of Spain who was to visit a poor country village. Upon hearing of his plan to visit them, the people seemed excited to offer a great celebration that would show their adoration and love for their king. But the villagers didn’t have much to offer.
As we’ve been speaking a word of revival across the United States, a primary purpose is to re-dig the wells for a great harvest in the midst of such darkness. While many would say “there is no revival coming”, we simply refer to Matthew 13:24-30 which describes a two-fold harvest. First, the WHEAT is ripening for harvest, while second, TARES are growing up along with it.
Returning from their ‘mission’ trip, the 72 disciples of Yeshua (Jesus) were filled with joy. “Even the devils are subject to us through your name”, they exulted. Yeshua responded that He saw Satan fall like lightening from Heaven and that He had given them authority to trample snakes and scorpions and to overcome all the power of the enemy.
