Prayer Update 9

By shellyhuey | Prayer Update , Uncategorized

Hello everyone,

This campaign began in prayer, was built on prayer, and will close in prayer.  The final election ballots are being counted today at 1:00 and if our lead continues we will face Janice Hahn in the July 12th runoff.  

Please pray that the entire process will be transparent and done with the highest level of integrity.  We are praying that the voice of the people be heard.

Standing together for His glory,
Craig
SHELLY’S CORNER

SURPRISED?

Jesus Christ loves IMPOSSIBLE situations.

He loves to take on IMPOSSIBLE odds.

He sees IMPOSSIBLE things as amazing opportunities to SHOW HIS POWER and
GLORY.

And you know what’s simply mind-blowing? That the God of this Universe would choose impossibilities like you and me.

Impossibilities like us to enact and execute HIS plans.

Impossibilities like us to take on an IMPOSSIBLE situation like District 36.

Impossibilities like us to DEFY the impossible odds in District 36.

And right now Jesus Christ is using this election to demonstrate to this NATION His POWER to DO the IMPOSSIBLE.

You signed up for this. You knew about it in advance. You supported it in prayer. You were there all along. You were chosen. Impossible you.

AND during that UNSEASONABLE DOWNPOUR on Tuesday, YOUR PRAYERS moved mountains. The results…

As of now, Craig is in 2nd place. The media NATIONWIDE has gone crazy.  Reports of “Major Upset”, “Shock”, and “Stunned” have hit online, radio and TV. Google Craig Huey, and currently there are over 340 news feeds.

BUT, it’s not over. There are still ballots to be counted.

That’s where YOU come in.

As the election results rolled in, EACH posting showed Craig GAINING percentage points. He started in third. He made up the margin and surpassed one of the front runners. This placed him in second. Earning him a seat in the general election runoff slated for July 12.

So PRAY that he stays there. Pray for favor over the ballot counting today at 1pm and the tentative final tomorrow at 1pm.

The Republican Party flew in attorneys to oversee this process and are at the Registrars Office now. Pray for their keen oversight and due diligence.

Ironically, the candidate that is behind Craig, by 206 votes, is the current Secretary of State. That position is in charge of rules, laws and ethics for our voting system in California.  Needless to say, she is going to
vehemently be on a rampage to do what it takes to try and move Craig out of second place.

She is convinced that the ballots yet to be counted will be in her favor.  And if the margins are narrow and still in Craig’s favor, she plans a recount.

PRAY for Craig to continue to have FAVOR and by a WIDE margin.

PRAY for the opposition to continue to operate in confusion.

PRAY for Craig to continue to have wisdom and discernment for all these media interviews that are bombarding him.

We humbly THANK YOU for the AMAZING demonstration of Prayer Support. We fall on our knees giving THANKS to our Lord and Savior and give HIM ALL THE GLORY!!!!

Jesus Christ + Impossible Us + Impossible You = 

Victory!

Prayer Update 8

By shellyhuey | Prayer Update , Uncategorized

Hello everyone, 

I want to begin this prayer update with a big welcome to all the new people on our prayer list and tell you how encouraging it is to see God add more Christians every week to pray for victory on the Special Election tomorrow.  We have Christians from all over the district, state and country interceding for this election and it is truly an honor to join with you in prayer.

My simple prayer requests revolve around one simple issue…getting people out to vote tomorrow!  The simple truth is that we will win this election tomorrow if God’s people come out to vote. 

The weather forecast says it may rain tomorrow.  This could be a good sign for us, but please pray not for a downpour of rain but for a deluge of believers to come out and vote.  Pray that Christians would pour out of their homes to the polls.  Pray for an outpouring of the Holy Spirit on His people to remind them to vote and that their vote will move our community and country towards righteousness.

PROVERBS says – When the wicked rule the people moan and when the righteous rules the people rejoice.

Pray for a time of rejoicing.

One last request.

WILL YOU HELP US GO VIRAL?

We need your help to get the message out to 25 thousand voters in the 36th district in the next 24 hours!

If you use Twitter, Facebook, text or e-mail please contact every Christian you know in the 36th District, briefly introduce me, and ask them to vote tomorrow…AND ask them to do the same.  We all know that the best advertising is and has always been word of mouth recommendations from a friend and if you would take that step to contact your friends and encourage them to do the same it would have a tremendous impact on the results of this election.

I look forward to rejoicing with you all tomorrow in victory!
To God be the glory,
Craig

UNSEASONABLE DOWNPOUR

Yesterday I was in Lake Arrowhead.  It was 35 degrees, 30mph winds and raining. Doesn’t SOUND like May weather. Didn’t FEEL like May weather. Didn’t LOOK like May weather. The day before was clear. Sunny. Beautiful. Comfortable. Calm. Typical May weather.

So this Unseasonable down-pour caught me by surprise.

I had to get out in it. I had to get drenched. So I went hiking and prayed. And I got drenched…literally and spiritually.

So, I have a few questions for you.  Do YOU want to experience the deluge? Do YOU want to participate in an unprecedented uprising of the CHURCH here in District 36?

The Special Election tomorrow is a UNSEASONABLE Election, and God has called his “Special” person, my husband, Craig to run in this race.  Likewise, God has called His “Special People” YOU, His CHURCH to intervene on Craig’s behalf.

His church, Gods people praying for District 36, are Sunny and Beautiful, Comfortable, Calm and Typical…just like the May Saturday weather in Lake Arrowhead.   But, Sunday brought an UNSEASONABLE DOWNPOUR!! And like that downpour…

We want to see the Church RISE UP like a mighty storm!!

We want to see revival here in District 36!!

We want to see the church be called by the POWER of the HOLY SPIRIT to get up and get out the VOTE for Craig!

We Know that what will happen on Election Day will not “SOUND” like what everyone expects… more of the same results.

We Know that What will Happen on Election Day will not “FEEL” like what everyone expects….more of the same results.

We Know that What will Happen on Election Day will not “LOOK” like what everyone expects…more of the same results.

God’s Word says, “Not by might. Not by power, but by my spirit says the Lord Almighty”!!
Zechariah 4:6

Tomorrow at 7 AM YOU are invited to our Headquarters to UNITE with US to ask God to continue to RAIN down on this District 36!!

Headquarters Office is @ the Corner of Hawthorne & Lomita in Torrance – 23211 Hawthorne Blvd #200A

Come Expecting Rain!!!  1 Kings 8:35,36

Prayer Update 7

By shellyhuey | Prayer Update , Uncategorized

Hello everyone,
 
This is the last week!  One week from today we will go to the polls and vote for the person to represent us in Congress and we are praying and working to do everything possible to win this race!
 
Do you remember the testimony the Tea Party received when Scott Brown won in Massachusetts?  The nation was shocked that a Republican won in such a liberal state and asked how it was possible.  The testimony around the country was that the Tea Party votes ushered in this amazing victory.
 
Well, when we win this race it too will shock the nation, but it won’t be the Tea Part who gets the credit.  What sets our campaign apart from all the other candidates running is that we have thousands praying and the votes who will push us over the edge to victory will be the Christian community. 
The Lord will get the glory in this victory and I wouldn’t want it any other way.
As far as my prayer requests go, please read my wife’s update below.  The Lord has given her prayer topics to share and even called us to fast.  I’m sure you will be encouraged as you read and challenged at how He is directing us all spiritually in this final week.
We appreciate you all more than we can express.
To God be all the glory,
Craig

SHELLY’S CORNER

Just one person.

You.

You took the challenge to pray.
Because of the power in you, the power of Jesus Christ…  You have influenced this District 36!
You have changed the course of history in the past six weeks.
You have moved mountains of doubt.  You have penetrated walls of fear.You have eroded pillars of pain.  You have broken down barriers of confusion.You have melted hardened hearts.  You have set captives free.

Your prayers are not only noticed…They are working!

Your prayers are moving rulers and authorities in heavenly realms (Eph 3:10)

Your prayers have made the powers and forces of evil in this District 36 tremble (Eph 6:12)

And its not over…

We have ONE week until Election Day, Tuesday May 17!!!

A lot of intense things can happen in ONEweek!!

Sooooo… I have another challenge for YOU!

I challenge you to join us in three POWERFUL things!

1. Continue to pray SPECIFICALLY for the church to rise up in this District 36 and GO TO THE POLLS and vote for CRAIG on Tues May 17!!  And for the Holy Spirit to remind them!! And that they will tell OTHERS to Vote for CRAIG!!

2. Read Genesis 1 and 2.  This is the account of Creation.  Where God took NOTHING and made it into Something EXTRAORDINARY!!!

And guess what?  This took one week!

(When God is “IN” anything, He WILL do beyond what we can imagine or think)

As you read Genesis, think in terms of this District and this campaign.

Pray for light to come out of the darkness that has its grip on this District.

Pray for immediate fruitfulness and multiplication in number to take place in the hearts of the Christians and them voting.  (if you notice in Genesis, everything God created was producing and bearing fruit of its kind, we as Christians need to DO the same) 

Pray for the Christians here to not be ashamed of the gospel.

Pray for Revival in this District 36.

Pray for Craig to have VICTORY on May 17th!

Pray that not just District 36 will see, hear and know that Craigs VICTORY is because of our LORD, but California will see, hear and know, the entire United States will see, hear and know, AND the WHOLE WORLD will see, hear and know that our LORD is GOD!!!(1 Samuel 17:47)

You are the church!

Declare the Victory!!

3.  You can join us in a corporate fast during this last week.

You can fast one meal, fast one day, do a Daniel fast (read Daniel1), or do the entire week.  We recommend that you go to jentezenfranklin.org for GREAT information on fasting.

Jesus not only tells us to pray but to fast.

There is AMAZING POWER in coupling your prayers WITH fasting.  Expect God to work miracles in this campaign and through your prayers and fasting!!

And… I am desperate to have feedback from you!

Just a few questions…

1. What has God revealed to you while praying for this campaign?

2. Where do you attend church?

3. How can we pray for you?

Please take a few minutes and send a reply to me @ shellynotw@gmail.com

Prayer Update 6

By shellyhuey | Prayer Update , Uncategorized

Hello everyone,

Let’s begin this update with another praise report.  We have been praying for 15,000 Christian votes on May 17th and just got word that Pastor Steve Mays of Calvary Chapel South Bay is expecting my call.  What makes this speaking opportunity significant is that we’ve been told Pastor Steve has 15,000 attending his church!

We’ve also been asking for pray for media opportunities. We confirmed this week that Frank Pastore from 99.5, KKLA, said he wants me on his show and is looking to have me on this week!

We are also praising God to have multiple churches lined up this weekend.  Turns out now that I can’t even speak at all of them, great problem to have!  We had to make a video for one church and send representatives to speak at another on my behalf.

I’m also thrilled to report the growing partnership with the Hispanic community.  Several leaders are helping us with endorsements, speaking engagements, calls and precinct walking.   This kind of support is critical to winning this race and we are extremely excited and grateful for the partnership.

I’m praying that we finish this race strong and am feel so blessed at the opportunity to represent you in Congress.

Prayer opportunities and requests are listed below.

Sincerely,

Craig

SHELLY’S CORNER
Spiritual Warfare…You hear about it sometimes in sermons.  Your friend tells you about a problem and refers to it as “spiritual warfare.”  You might have even experienced it yourself…in one form or another.

In fact, if you are a Christian and you live your life for Jesus, then whether you realize it or not, you are ENGAGEDin spiritual warfare.

If you look at any strategically designed operation, there are key positions that demand trained obedient people.  Osama Bin Laden was not found by inexperienced, unaware, careless and disobedient civilians.  He was found by highly skilled, trained professional Navy Seals.

Last weekend, when we had our first “Drive 2 Win“, we were BLESSED with some highly skilled, trained professional prayer warriors.  You ask…. How do you know their credentials?  Did you interview them? Did they come with recommendations?

Nope. They just SHOWED UP.

They have had the most INTENSE training and the most HIGHLY SKILLED experiences. It’s called LIFE.  But it’s not just LIFE.  It’s ABUNDANT LIFE.  LIFE that TRANSFORMS. LIFE that OVERCOMES TRAGEDY.  LIFE that exudes BLESSINGS!

WHY?  

Because they have the blood of Jesus racing through their veins. They have Jesus Christs authority written over their life. They know that they can do ALL things through Jesus Christ. They know that His power will move mountains.And they KNOW that Jesus WILL use puny, nothing THEM to change District 36.That’s who SHOWED UP last weekend.

I wish you could have been there to meet them…to be encouraged and see and touch and talk to a REAL person who is WILLING to go to the front lines for
JESUS.

So while you are reading this, ask yourself, what is your position in the strategically designed operation of prayer for this campaign?  

Are you hunkered down in the foxhole?  Are you holding down the fort at the main base?  Are you receiving intel from the Commander in Chief?  Are you acting obediently from commands of the General?  Are you on the front lines?

Let me help you out with these answers…
Your answers should ALL be YES!!! BECUZ…
Your foxhole is your prayer closet.
Your main base is your home or your car.
Your Commander in Chief is God.
Your General is the Holy Spirit.
Your front lines surround you wherever you go every day.
There is NEVER a time that you are NOT engaged for JESUS CHRIST

 
If you are receiving our prayer updates then you are Called by God to Pray for this Campaign.  After all, You signed Up! 
God has QUALIFIED You!!!
God turns ordinary people like us who are willing and obedient to be POWERFUL WARRIORS.

So stick that armor on today and be ENGAGED for Jesus!

And we humbly THANK YOU for SHOWING UP and making a difference for the kingdom.
