Pohnpeian X-FILES: Pohnpaip
Thousands of
years ago, giants and "sokolei," the Pohnpeian version of leprechauns
were said to have roamed the island of Pohnpei. One of the places that
they populated is Pohnpaip, Madolenihmw. One time the giants got so
upset with the "sokolei" that they threw a giant net over them and
trapped them. This net eventually turned into a giant rock which human
inhabitants later inscribed carvings of kinves and other objects upon,
which is now the modern day Pohnpaip Petroglyphs. When the family who
owns that land showed us around, he brought us to one place on the huge
rock that is hollow. It is said that this is the door to where the
"sokolei" are buried. At night the family says that they hear "ngen
saut" or evil spirits making noise up on the rock not far from their
home.

The Saturday
before last, Herman, Jesse, Tanya, Ben and I traveled to Pohnpaip,
Madolenihmw to pray, repent on behalf of the ancestors and take
communion together. This has become a weekend occasion for our Iris
Micronesia tribe and for Every Home for Christ. The Holy Spirit is
leading us to do this at strategic places of demonic strongholds on the
island Pohnpei, as we know that we must first "bind the strongman
(Satan), before we can plunder his goods (reap a harvest of souls)."
[Matthew 12:29] I am calling these series of blog posts, "Pohnpeian
X-FILES." We all felt the tension at this place as we prayed. Ben even
heard growling nearby. After praying and taking communion, we poured out
the grape juice, representing the blood of Jesus onto the huge rock,
especially on the door where the "sokolei" are said to be buried. That
night, Herman had a waking vision of Pohnpaip, and that very door had
flung open like a coffin. As it opened, a horrible smell, the stench of
hell rose from the grave. Just then the "sokolei" began to try and
escape, but it was then that we took communion together and sealed the
door shut for good, so that the "sokolei" could never again roam around
on the earth.

Pohnpeian X-FILES: Palikir
In a place
where one needs to hike through jungle and across rivers to find, two
large stones can be found that are assumed to be the dwelling place of
two "ghost ladies" named, "Inahs" and "Limodolong." These two ghost
ladies are said to have tormneted the people of Pohnpei, but especially
target the islanders who feel isolated. "Inahs" and "Limodolong" appear
to Pohnpeians as beautiful women dressed in red who seduce their victims
and when they wake up the next morning they are crazy and roam the
streets not in their right mind for the rest of their lives. These two
ghost ladies use the river systems nearby and have even have seduced
youth who were drinking alone near PICS High School.

This last
Saturday, myself, Herman, Jesse, two pastors from the Assemblies of God
and two others whose land these two large two stones reside on made the
hike to this place in Palikir, Sokehs. As we arrived hundreds of bats
flew out of the rocks and filled the skies. It was actually kind of
creepy. We proceeded to pray, repent and take communion together, having
the indigenous Pohnpeians break any curses on the land as it is their
family line that had made former allegiences with these "Inahs" and
"Limodolong." Once again we felt a new freedom in that place where
heaviness once permeated the spiritual atmosphere. This is a ministry of
faith, as we are battling forces that are unseen. We totally believe
that we are bringing new levels of freedom to the island of Pohnpei by
praying at one strategic location at a time.
