Candace Cameron Bure is one tough cookie when it comes to haters bagging on her beliefs. The “Fuller House” actress is widely known for her Christian principles, and despite being under constant fire for proclaiming them, Candace holds her own.
“Everyone who acknowledges me publicly here on earth, I will also acknowledge before my Father in heaven. But everyone who denies me here on earth, I will also deny before my Father in heaven.” Matthew 10:32-34
Last week, Candace posted a picture to Instagram wearing a shirt that reads, “Not Today Satan.”
The term “not today, Satan, not today,” was apparently coined by drag queen Bianca Del Rio during the 6th season of RuPaul’s Drag Race, though the phrase has been around forever. Upon seeing the photo of Candace sporting “her term,” Del Rio started a full-on Instagram war against the Christian actress writing, “IF ONLY, THIS HOMOPHOBIC, REPUBLICAN KNEW……… 😈?😈?”
Del Rio’s fans took to Candace’s Instagram as a bunch of trolls, slamming her for her beliefs and telling her to “look up where that quote comes from.”

The drag queen has a merchandise line that widely displays the phrase, and it’s also the name of her most recent tour. 
However, a quick search of the phrase on Etsy brings up its own category titled “Christian Shirts,” and there’s a plethora of products like coffee mugs and wall prints with the phrase, sold by Jesus-loving vendors.
The shirt that Candace was sporting does not appear to be one that is sold on Rio’s website.
Here’s the deal, regardless of the fact that a celebrity supposedly coined the term “not today, Satan,” the statement is one of empowerment no matter who you are—especially for those who are in the trenches of spiritual warfare on a daily basis.
We know in all things, the more we chase after God, the stronger the enemy will come against us. I’d like to think that even though Del Rio stakes claim on coining the phrase, Jesus thought that one up long before she ever came along.
