GAF Star Used God’s Word to Combat Demonic Forces
By Movieguide® Contributor
Candace Cameron Bure knows firsthand the power of the Word of God.
In a discussion with Dr. Josh and Christi Straub on her podcast, the FULL HOUSE actress shared an eerie story from the past.
While her husband was gone long-term to film a show, Bure and her children lived in a rental home that was “haunted.”
“So, I was at home with the kids. Well, some real bad stuff started happening in that house when Val left. And…it just knew I did not have my husband and protector of my home in there,” she explained.
Even though something spiritual and dark was present, she knew Jesus was with her.
“Jesus is with me, right? And one day Lev came up to me, and he said, ‘Mommy, I’ve just been sleeping so bad, and I’m not sleeping well at night.’ And I knew, like, I knew there was just icky stuff in the house, but I didn’t want to show the kids fear or anything like that. And so, we prayed together, and I’m like, buddy, I’m going to pray for a good night’s sleep. And we prayed to get all the things.”
Bure did everything she knew to do to get rid of whatever demonic thing was in that house.
“Well, once the kids went to bed…I anointed every door frame, every window in that house. I prayed out every single room for anything that was demonic in that house,” she said. “And the spirit of Jesus was already in my house. But I just invited the Holy Spirit back in to flood my house and overpower anything that would have been in there. And then I wrote scripture on some little three-by-five cards, and I stuck several of them under my kid’s mattresses…the word of God was over them. And of course, I didn’t tell my kids any of this. This is just crazy me, you know, doing my thing.”
The next morning, Bure received confirmation that God had heard her prayers.
“Lev woke up, and he came to me, and he goes, ‘Mom, I had the best night’s sleep last night.’ And I was like, I just shifted the atmosphere in that haunted house man. By the way, we ended up breaking our lease real early and we moved out real quick. We moved out very quickly after that.”
Ephesians 6:10-12 says, “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.”
As Christians, we will face things that we cannot understand, but through Jesus, we have the authority to cast any evil and unclean spirit out. The Word of God is powerful, and God is with us. All we have to do is call on His name.
Movieguide® previously reported on why it’s so important to create a God-centered atmosphere in our homes:
Josh believes it’s important to be mindful of the environment in your household.
“If we don’t pay attention to the environment of the home, the world will define that environment for us,” he emphasized.
To do this better, the couple implemented weekly Sunday meetings for their family.
“It felt like as we’ve gotten older and like the pace of life has picked up and people are going different directions, and it was this like weekly check-in, and the question we just ask [our kids] is, ‘What do you need from us this week?’ And that seems really simple, but I think it’s often — that’s the thing that we all need, like what do you need? And I think, for one, it taught our kids that it’s okay to have needs,” Christi said.
