Carolinas Aligned With Israel
Dr. Sherlock Bally Delivers Powerful Prophetic Message
By Mary C. Medford
Fort Mill, SC - Representatives of the Ekklesia for all 100 Counties in North Carolina and 46 Counties in South Carolina gathered at Heritage International Ministries Grand Ballroom on April 26-27, 2013 to attend the "Carolina Align with Israel" Conference put on by Strategic Alliance International ~ Carolina Strategic Prayer Alliance. Attendees gathered together to praise and worship the LORD, hear anointed teaching, and sign a declaration of support of Israel, a document which will be taken to Israel at the Knesset at a future appointed time. Apostle Medford decreed this gathering as a "historical event", the first of its kind in the Nation to declare support of Israel by county.
Ron and Adina Horner opened the gathering on Friday evening with praise and worship followed by a prophetic word and vision delivered by Apostle Medford - a vision where Carolina, the Bride, was dressed in a beautiful flowing white ballroom wedding gown, dancing with Y'Shua in the Ballroom of Heaven, where with loving heart and loving eyes He says to His Bride Carolina, "Call me Y'Shua". As the event was held at the start of Shabbat (sundown), Shabbat candles were lit by Apostle Mary Medford along with Rabbi Perry Ennis of Greenville, NC who blessed the gathering.The sound of multiple shofars followed, and a replica of the Ark of the Covenant carried on the shoulders of several men from different regions of the Carolinas (including Florida) entered in and was placed in front of the gathering.

The Glory of the LORD descended upon the gathering after the Ark was placed on its stand, and for a time, a profound spirit of worship ensued, along with prophetic accompaniment on the keyboard by Adina Horner. The Glory of the LORD filled the Ballroom likened to the time of King Solomon when the Glory of God filled the temple after the Ark was placed in its place (2 Chronicles 5:11-14). Pastor Linda Taylor, Carolina Strategic Prayer Alliance Regional Leader came forward and prayed for the nation of Israel then introduced Dr. Sherlock Bally.

Highlights of Dr. Sherlock Bally's teaching included presenting the case as to why we align with Israel, which is based on what God said in His Word: "Israel must be a nation", "Israel must be in their land", "Jerusalem must be the Capital", and "the temple must be at Mt. Moriah". Bally furthermore said, "if any of the above are attacked or eliminated, we are in trouble", and that the conflict in Israel between her and her enemies "has nothing to do with the land, and has everything to do with the Word and Supremacy of God." He also added that the reason we align with Israel is because of His Name.
Sherlock also quoted Benjamin Netanyahu as saying on 9/4/12 that "Zionism and the Rebirth of the Jewish State would not have succeeded without the backing of Christian Zionism", which affirmed the purpose of the gathering, and the signing of the Declaration of Support of Israel.

Dr. Sherlock Bally also confirmed numerous times throughout his presentation that "this [the gathering] is a historical event" and prophesied that North Carolina is "pacesetter state", a new revealed destiny. As North Carolina is in covenant relationship with South Carolina - Apostle Medford declared
after the event that through this gathering the Carolinas have now "set the pace" for the nation.

Susie Zeiglar of Embassy House of Zion connected with Glory of Zion International and Dr. Chuck Pierce, taught Saturday morning on the meaning of the Hebraic Year and the Hebraic Month of IYAR, which Susie described as a "Vav" month - a connector month between Passover and Pentecost, and a time of transition which is not comfortable; when the baby is crowning, a birthing time; a time when we must push. Susie also added that the Tribe of Isaachar is the tribe assigned to the month of IYAR - a tribe known for understanding times and seasons. She also shared that "North Carolina is a First Fruits State" and is a Vav State as seen through the "Vav" (the tent peg-like staff on the Seal of North Carolina); and that South Carolina too is a First Fruits State as it has the New Moon on its flag. Susie also taught on the cycle of blessings and the importance of First Fruits.
The Grand Finale of the conference came as Apostle Medford called up each of the counties one by one in North Carolina, and the Regions with their Counties one by one in South Carolina to the platform to sign the documents. Each county representative received a copy of the declaration to take home.

The gathering ended when the Shofar Players were directed to make a united sound of declaration of victory and the ending of the gathering. Those gathered then let out a shout of victory, as a tangible shift was felt in the atmosphere. Apostle Medford then prayed and ended the conference. Attendees went home in the rain, evidence of breakthrough and a successful and powerful completion of alignment between Carolina and Israel in the spirit realm.
Audio CD's of the conference will be made available, as well as copies of the declaration that was handed out at the conference. Email and facebook announcement coming out shortly on how to obtain copies of CD's and the declaration. For more information contact Mary Medford at carolina@strategicprayeralliance.org.
