I\u2019m grateful that He\u2019s already given all of us and me the ability to be justified before Him and be sanctified throughout the process of my life and that He redeems it all at the end,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n<p>The <em>Fuller House <\/em>alum confessed that she usually turns to gratitude in times of anguish. A few weeks ago, she took to social media to share her heartbreak over the Uvalde, Texas, elementary school shooting. With tears in her eyes, Bure said, \u201cWith the tragedy and the loss of those 21 people, that is so hard, and as a mother, I grieve, and I just want to grieve with the people of Uvalde and the families.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>In a separate Instagram story, Bure shared that she felt the devil was attacking her home, saying that the devil\u2019s spirit targeted her and her family after days of everyone being irritable with each other. Bure noted that her house is typically peaceful and happy, so the fact that everyone was so on edge was a surprise. Then she said an epiphany, saying, \u201cIt finally hit me. I\u2019m like, \u2018Oh, there\u2019s a spirit of irritability, there\u2019s a spirit of crankiness, there\u2019s a spirit of confusion. Oh, the enemy\u2019s attacking!\u201d<\/p>\n<p>She continued, \u201cI think so easily, we forget, and we want to just blame one another when things go wrong. And we forget that there\u2019s a very real and powerful enemy at work every single day of our lives.\u201d Then she clarified that the enemy was the devil and proclaimed that he had no authority in her home.<\/p>\n<p>The mother of three made a declaration of faith, saying, \u201cJesus has all authority, all power in my home, and reigns in my home! \u201cI call upon the Holy Spirit. I pray out any evil spirits that are in here,\u201d Bure continued. \u201cAnd I put on my worship music; it\u2019s just filling my home. So my home is filled with Scripture, and God\u2019s Word, God\u2019s power, God\u2019s truth, and I just keep reminding myself of that.\u201d After making her spiritual declaration, Bure advised her followers to keep their spiritual eyes open.<\/p>\n<p>Recently, the actress took an executive role at GAC Media; there, she\u2019ll produce and star in family-friendly and faith content while developing her own content. It can be sad and daunting to think about the state of today\u2019s world. However, if you sit back and remind yourself that God is in control, everything will be fine.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Actress Candace Cameron Bure was filled with emotion when she encouraged her fans to help push back against the current \u201cstate of the world.\u201d In an Instagram video to her 5.5 million followers, Bure said, \u201cDo you ever scroll through Instagram and just get sad at the state of the world?
