Actress Candace Cameron Bure recently shared an encouraging message for her social media followers dealing with depression, adverse emotions or spiritual warfare, insisting they rebuke the “evil spirits.”

In an Instagram post, where she was noticeably choked up, Bure said, “Sometimes we can get overwhelmed with feelings, feelings that might be loneliness, shame, regret, worry, anxiety, depression and darkness.” She said she used her words to affirm herself, adding, “She knows someone needs to hear this this morning because I need to hear it.”

She proclaimed, “You need to rebuke those spirits. 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. He goes before you. He stands with you. He goes behind you. He covers you in protection.”

The candid Christian actress hasn’t shied away from publicly discussing the battles with spiritual attacks that have come her family’s way in the past. Still, Bure told her 5 million Instagram followers to take authority over evil spirits. She said, “Tell any evil spirits to get out because they don’t get to have a hold on you. Open the windows and 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. He’s with you.”

In the video’s caption, Bure said there are days when she needs to be reminded that the “negative thoughts that continually churn in my mind are voices from the enemy.” She wrote, “Whispers that say, you’re not good enough, you can’t handle this, you’ll never change, you’ll always fail. Whispers that cause fear, depression, loneliness, anxiety, shame, worthlessness, and the list goes on. It’s a LIE!!!”

Bure continued, “You are valuable because God says so. He made you in His image. He loves and cares for you like no other! He goes before you; He stands with you and behind you. He covers you and protects you. Invite Him in. Call out His name. You are HIS. The Lord loves YOU!”

Bure was credited with leading her fellow actress Danica McKellar of “The Wonder Years” fame to faith in Christ. McKellar and thousands of others commented on Bure’s post, saying, “So beautiful!!! Love this so much.” FOX correspondent Shannon Bream said, “Always meeting the lies with the truth. Great encouragement!” Former “View” co-host Paula Faris added, “This was a WORD, sister!”

The enemy will constantly try to get the best of you, but God is more significant than any struggle or spiritual warfare attack. Whenever you need to, call out to Him, and He’ll answer. If you go to Him in prayer and ask Him to remove any negativity from your life, He will answer
