Dear Friends,
We are forwarding you strategic prayer points for Israel and the Jewish people around the world from Avner Boskey of Final Frontier Ministries.
Worldwide Islamic terrorism

On the third anniversary of 9/11, the swamp gases of Islamic Jihad terrorism are bubbling up across the globe. The past three weeks have left a bloody toll of Jihad casualties:

* In Russia, where two passenger airplanes were downed by Chechen-related Islamic terrorists (Islambouli Brigades; 90 civilians murdered);

* In Beslan, Northern Ossetia (Shamil Basayev's Chechnyan Islamic warriors), with al-Qaida links; 338 civilians murdered, of them 150 children; 646 wounded);

* In Jakarta, Indonesia (Jemaah Islamiyah, also with links to Al Qaida; 9 civilians murdered, 180 injured);

*In Falluja, Iraq (Al-Sadr's Mehdi Army, funded and equipped by the Islamic Republic of Iran; 6 Marines killed, 6 wounded):

* in Beersheva, Israel (Hamas, also funded and equipped by Iran; 16 civilians murdered, 100 injured).
Pray for the Holy Spirit to block, frustrate and expose Jihad strategies and actions; to grant wisdom, discernment and successful counter-terrorist strategies and actions to all those working to defeat Islamic terrorism; to liberate many followers of Islam from dark thoughts and views and for them to receive saving revelation of Yeshua; to establish the peace of Jerusalem and the salvation of God's chosen people.We need to pray that Israel's leaders be touched by God's heart and opinions regarding the issue of disengagement and that they would do only what He commands them to do (see 1 Kings 22:16).We need to pray that Israel's military and counter-terrorist strategists receive God's strategies and revelation as to how best to defend their people and country (see 2 Kings 6:12). We need to pray for the peace of Jerusalem (Psalm 122:6) and also that Messiah's peace be upon all Israel (Psalm 125:5).We need to pray that Israel's leaders not succumb to deceptive enemy strategies, but instead press in to follow hard after the God of Israel and His Messiah Yeshua with all their heart, mind and soul. We need to pray for a mighty revelation of Yeshua to come to all strata of Israeli society, including to the Prime Minister, his cabinet and the opposition parties as well.

We here at Gratefully Grafted Ministries also need your prayers. We are sending a team to Israel this Sunday, through the 26th of October. Please pray for God's journeying mercies and a fast bonding of the team. Please pray for many "Holy Spirit" appointed ministry opportunities. Also, see below for our next tour coming in February - if you have been to Israel and would like to go back for 24/7 worship and prayer ministry - please contact us for information on this tour.Please also pray for finances to do the work of the ministry. Thanks so much and may God richly bless you,
