The Curse of the Scarecrow Legends and folklore often surround cursed objects, haunted places, and supernatural beings. One such legend is "The Curse of the Scarecrow." This tale has been passed down through generations, warning people about the dangers associated with disrespecting the scarecrow. The story begins in a small village nestled between mountains and fields. The villagers were hardworking and relied on their crops for survival. Every year, during the harvest season, they would create scarecrows to guard their precious fields from birds and other pests that threatened their livelihoods.
"When someone tells you to consult mediums and spiritists, who whisper and mutter, should not a people inquire of their God? Why consult the dead on behalf of the living? Consult God's instruction and the testimony of warning. If anyone does not speak according to this word, they have no light of dawn. Distressed and hungry, they will roam through the land; when they are famished, they will become enraged and, looking upward, will curse their king and their God. Then they will look toward the earth and see only distress and darkness and fearful gloom, and they will be thrust into utter darkness."

Warning to Parents: New Disney Cartoon Teaches Kids How to Be Witches, Using a Demon to Do So
This is so beyond Cinderella it's not even funny. Disney has come up with a new cartoon about a teenager who, in their words, "finds herself stuck in the Demon Realm and battles the forces of evil alongside a rebellious witch and a pint-sized warrior."
In this so-called fantasy world, the main character, Luz, "pursues her dream of becoming a witch by serving as Eda's (the rebellious witch's) apprentice."
It's called "The Owl House" and is set to premiere on January 10th on the Disney Channel. Here is the link to the show's trailer if you're inclined to watch it.
In another trailer, Luz declares, "I wanna stay and become a witch like you." You can watch that trailer here.
The show tries to portray witchcraft as a positive tool to fight evil. That's similar to what real-life witches have been promoting over the past few years as they've been putting hexes on President Trump and others in order to fight for their beliefs.
Folks, if you think this latest "Owl House" show is just "fantasy and fun," think again. Over the years, Disney has gone farther and farther into the darkness of the spiritual world that opposes the living God, coming up with programming and characters that lead the vulnerable into that dark world of deception.
The Bible tells us clearly that there is a spiritual realm that is not of God. It warns us not to participate in witchcraft, to not consult with mediums and spiritists, but to call on God for answers in our lives. Isaiah 8:19-22 states:
"When someone tells you to consult mediums and spiritists, who whisper and mutter, should not a people inquire of their God? Why consult the dead on behalf of the living? Consult God's instruction and the testimony of warning. If anyone does not speak according to this word, they have no light of dawn. Distressed and hungry, they will roam through the land; when they are famished, they will become enraged and, looking upward, will curse their king and their God. Then they will look toward the earth and see only distress and darkness and fearful gloom, and they will be thrust into utter darkness."
This spiritual realm that opposes God is real. Demons are real. And they are out to deceive your children and draw them in to be pawns of the enemy of their souls, the Devil, otherwise known as Satan. His devices and plans are to destroy your kids and grandkids spiritually, physically and emotionally. You must protect them from being enticed into this demonic world.
The Bible tells us in 1 Peter 5:8 Close 1 Peter 5:8 Stay alert! Watch out for your great enemy, the devil. He prowls around like a roaring lion, looking for someone to devour. OPEN VERSE IN BIBLE (nlt) , "Be alert and of sober of mind. Your enemy the devil prowls around like a roaring lion looking for someone to devour." The reality of a spiritual world working against us is clear. Read Ephesians 6:12 Close Ephesians 6:12 For we* are not fighting against flesh-and-blood enemies, but against evil rulers and authorities of the unseen world, against mighty powers in this dark world, and against evil spirits in the heavenly places. OPEN VERSE IN BIBLE (nlt) , "For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this age, against spiritual hosts of wickedness in the heavenly places."
The Good News is that Jesus is our Advocate and has already defeated this enemy by dying on the cross and overcoming death by rising from the grave. He lives now and forever and is always interceding for us. One day Jesus is coming back. The signs the Bible tells us to watch for before His return are popping up like crazy right now. But until He comes back, we as His children must stand against the evil forces that want to destroy us and our families.
Jesus has all authority against this enemy. ( Matthew 28:18 Close Matthew 28:18 Jesus came and told his disciples, "I have been given all authority in heaven and on earth. OPEN VERSE IN BIBLE (nlt) ). If you are a Christian, a believer in Jesus Christ and His death and resurrection, you have authority is His Name. In Luke 10:19 Close Luke 10:19 Look, I have given you authority over all the power of the enemy, and you can walk among snakes and scorpions and crush them. Nothing will injure you. OPEN VERSE IN BIBLE (nlt) He told us that because of what He did for us on the cross, He has given us that authority to resist the devil and fight back and win. The Amplified version of the Bible helps to understand what this verse means: "Listen carefully: I have given you authority (that you now possess) to tread on serpents and scorpions, and (the ability to exercise authority) over all the power of the enemy (Satan); and nothing will (in any way) harm you."
We can stand against the evil coming after our families in His Name. Ephesians 6:10-18 Close Ephesians 6:10-18 A final word: Be strong in the Lord and in his mighty power. Put on all of God's armor so that you will be able to stand firm against all strategies of the devil. For we* are not fighting against flesh-and-blood enemies, but against evil rulers and authorities of the unseen world, against mighty powers in this dark world, and against evil spirits in the heavenly places. Therefore, put on every piece of God's armor so you will be able to resist the enemy in the time of evil. Then after the battle you will still be standing firm. Stand your ground, putting on the belt of truth and the body armor of God's righteousness. For shoes, put on the peace that comes from the Good News so that you will be fully prepared.* In addition to all of these, hold up the shield of faith to stop the fiery arrows of the devil.* Put on salvation as your helmet, and take the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God. Pray in the Spirit at all times and on every occasion. Stay alert and be persistent in your prayers for all believers everywhere.* OPEN VERSE IN BIBLE (nlt) tells us how:
"Finally, be strong in the Lord and in his mighty power. Put on the full armor of God, so that you can take your stand against the devil's schemes. For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms. Therefore put on the full armor of God, so that when the day of evil comes, you may be able to stand your ground, and after you have done everything, to stand. Stand firm then, with the belt of truth buckled around your waist, with the breastplate of righteousness in place, and with your feet fitted with the readiness that comes from the gospel of peace. In addition to all this, take up the shield of faith, with which you can extinguish all the flaming arrows of the evil one. Take the helmet of salvation and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God. And pray in the Spirit on all occasions with all kinds of prayers and requests. With this in mind, be alert and always keep on praying for all the Lord's people."
Call on Jesus. If you haven't given your life to Him yet, do so. Confess your sins and ask Him to forgive you. He will. Pray always, knowing that what you can't do in your own power, Jesus can by the power of His Holy Spirit. Fight the good fight of faith. Don't give up. Your kids will thank you. When all is said and done, followers of the Light of the World are the ones who win, not those who dabble in darkness.

Reviews for "The Silent Sentry: The Curse of the Scarecrow Revealed"
1. John - 2 stars
I was really disappointed with "Curse of the scarecrow". The acting was subpar and the storyline was predictable. There were no real scares, and the scarecrow itself was more laughable than anything else. The characters made the most illogical choices that it was frustrating to watch. Overall, it was a forgettable horror film that I wouldn't recommend.
2. Sarah - 3 stars
"Curse of the scarecrow" had potential, but it fell flat for me. The storyline had potential, but it lacked suspense and the scares were too cliché. I found myself not really caring about the characters, as they were very one-dimensional and lacked any depth. The pacing was also off, with some scenes being unnecessarily dragged out. It's a shame because the cinematography was decent, but that wasn't enough to save this film for me.
3. Michael - 2 stars
As a horror fan, I was excited to watch "Curse of the scarecrow". However, it failed to deliver on any real horror. The scares were predictable and lacked any originality. The script was weak, and the dialogue felt forced. The overall atmosphere of the film was also lacking, as it failed to build any real tension. Sadly, "Curse of the scarecrow" was a forgettable and underwhelming horror film.
