But what if your brokenness isn’t a sign that God is finished? What if it’s proof that He’s starting something new? God never wastes pain. He never leaves ground untouched by purpose. In His Kingdom, broken ground is fertile ground. “Break up your fallow ground, for it is time to seek the Lord, till He comes and rains righteousness on you.” – Hosea 10:12 (NKJV) Sometimes God has to break the ground to prepare it for the next season.

“Do not be afraid.” It’s one of the most repeated commands in all of Scripture — appearing roughly 365 times. That’s one “Fear not” for every single day of the year. And here’s what that tells me: God knew fear would try to visit us daily. But He also gave us a daily reminder that His presence and protection are stronger than anything that could come against us. So while the world celebrates Halloween, a day that glorifies fear, darkness, and the things that go bump in the ni

There are seasons when God doesn’t just hand you a seed — He sends you as one. He places you in families, workplaces, churches, and communities, not simply to receive a harvest, but to become one. You are the seed God plants to bring change, light, and fruit to places that have gone dry. And like any seed, you may have to endure darkness, pressure, and time before your purpose begins to grow.

Don Mancini once explained, “Andy was always the heart. The movies work because a child’s innocence collides with absolute evil.” When Chucky turns on him, Andy does what few horror characters do—he believes his own eyes. His line, “This is the end, friend,” as he burns the doll, became the franchise’s first declaration of defiance.

The Word of God never returns void. It may be buried deep beneath disappointment or delay, but it’s alive, active, and growing — even when you can’t see it.

“The Sunken Place,” Peele explained, “is where marginalized voices are silenced. It’s a state of oppression—a metaphor for systemic racism and how people are trapped, watching themselves lose agency.” Daniel Kaluuya’s tear-streaked face in that moment became iconic, a visual representation of silent suffering. Yet even there, Chris fights. He studies his surroundings, finds focus, and waits for his chance. His strength lies in patience and perception.

Life has its share of missed swings. We say the wrong thing, make the wrong move, or let fear keep us from stepping into what God called us to do. But the beauty of walking with God is that He doesn’t disqualify us when we fail. He hands us the ball again and says, “Try again, My child.” That’s favor. That’s mercy. That’s a divine do-over. Tony’s Favor Fact™: Grace is God’s way of saying, “You don’t have to end on your mistake.”

Spiritually, that same tension exists in our lives. We sow faithfully, pray persistently, and believe wholeheartedly, yet sometimes it feels like nothing’s happening. The ground looks undisturbed. The air feels quiet. The waiting feels endless. And that’s where most people give up — right before the bloom.

Her name is Nancy Thompson, and she became one of horror’s greatest warriors. Before Laurie Strode faced Michael Myers again, before Sidney Prescott rewrote the rules of survival, Nancy Thompson stood her ground against a monster born from nightmares. This is not just a story about fear—it’s a story about focus, faith, and the power of the human mind to overcome the impossible.

That moment between seed and harvest is what I call “the weight of waiting.” Waiting is heavy because it tests both your endurance and your belief. It’s the space where you can’t see what God is doing, but you must trust that He’s still doing it. It’s not wasted time — it’s working time, where the roots grow deeper before the fruit appears.

In 1978, Laurie Strode took her place in cinematic history, and in the decades since, she has become the ultimate survivor. This is her story: a tale of fear, family, trauma, courage, and redemption. This Halloween, we don’t just revisit the Boogeyman—we celebrate the woman who stood against him.

The tears you shed in your hardest seasons water the seeds you plant in faith. Crisis is not a signal to stop sowing — it is the very soil where breakthrough takes root.

But the Kingdom of God operates on a different economy. In God’s hands, the smallest seed carries supernatural potential. What looks too small to matter can grow into something mighty when surrendered to Him.

You plant one seed, and with time, care, and God’s provision, that seed grows into a harvest greater than what was placed in the ground. That’s the ordinary rhythm of Kingdom living. But there are times when God disrupts the ordinary. There are moments when His favor multiplies not just in addition but in abundance — where you don’t just reap what you sow, you reap in double measure. This is the double portion harvest: not only restoration of what was lost, but overflow beyo

true peace, God’s peace, isn’t found when everything is calm around you. It’s found when everything is chaotic and yet your spirit remains steady. That’s the favor of peace in the midst. When you are surrounded by storms but not shaken by them, when you are under pressure but not crushed, when you can sleep, sing, and smile in situations that should have broken you — that’s not natural. That’s supernatural favor.

We live in a world that measures success by visible results—numbers, likes, money, applause. But Heaven doesn’t operate that way. Every prayer whispered, every act of kindness, every tear shed in intercession, every step of obedience—it all counts.
