Earlier this week, popular actress Candace Cameron Bure encouraged her Instagram followers to “rebuke” spirits of loneliness, shame, regret, worry, anxiety, depression, and darkness.
Bure, who serves as Great American Family’s Chief Creative Officer, said, “I know someone needs to hear this this morning, because I needed to hear it.”
“Sometimes, we can get overwhelmed with feelings—feelings that might be loneliness, shame, regret, worry, anxiety, depression, darkness—and you need to you need to rebuke those spirits,” Bure continued. “You need to tell them to get out, because they don’t have a hold on you. They don’t have a hold on me! Because I belong to God the Father. So do you. He’s with you at all times.”
Bure reminded her fans that God goes before them, stands with them, goes behind them, and covers them in protection.
“Remind yourself of that. And tell any evil spirits to get out, because they don’t get to have a hold on you,” Bure said. “Open up the windows. Let the light come in. Put on your praise and worship music, and fill your room with the Holy Spirit, because God changes everything. And he loves you, and he’s with you.”
Alongside her video, which has since gone viral, Bure wrote that there are days when she “needs to be reminded that the negative thoughts that continually churn in my mind are voices from the enemy.”
These voices whisper, “you’re not good enough, you can’t handle this, you’ll never change, you’ll always fail,” Bure said. When she listens to voices from evil spirits, they cause her to experience “fear, depression, loneliness, anxiety, shame, worthlessness…and the list goes on.”
Bure said, “It’s A LIE!!!”
God says you are valuable and made his image, she said. “Invite Him in. Call out His name. You are HIS. The Lord loves YOU.”
