MICRONESIA 2013 - Pohnpeian X-FILES: Pohnpaip and Palikir

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.

MICRONESIA 2013 - Gem from Heaven

 
GEM FROM HEAVEN. Today while we were editing the last clip of our new Iris Micronesia informational video about the upcoming Harvest School, this gem suddenly appeared on the table next to the computer. Looking at the gem stone up close it is partially rough and partially cut. Maybe it is a prophetic picture about the nature of Iris Micronesia; some things being fully formed and perfected while other things are still rough and unfinished.

MICRONESIA 2013 - Teaching the Youth on Godly Relationships

Teaching the Youth on Godly Relationships
Every weekend youth travel from all over Pohnpei to be a part of the Every Home for Christ youth group in Pohnlangas, Madolenihmw. The Every Home for Christ leadership has been teaching on godly relationships. They asked if our Iris Micronesia team could help teach on the subject. We were glad to so last Saturday night, Jesse and Tanya shared their testimony of how God brought them together.
.
I was asked to continue to share on the subject the following week. The MDMI students and EHC workers were having a retreat at Nihco Marine park in Sokehs on Thursday, so Amy asked if I could share on godly relationships that evening, as I was already planning on camping and spending the night there with them. After a time of worship I spent a couple of hours sharing on godly relationships and sexual purity. At times it was serious, but at other times everyone was laughing so hard I thought they wouldn't stop laughing. earlier in the week I bought string to make necklaces and gathered old keys. After walking everyone present through cutting soul ties, each one made a serious commitment by taking a key on a necklace which symbolizes the "key to their heart." By taking the key they all committed themselves to sexual purity, not giving themselves away to anyone else, and on their wedding night, giving the key to their future spouse saying, "This is the key to my heart. Tonight I am giving it to you as I have saved myself for you to this day." It was an amazing time together.

.
The following Saturday I gave the same message to the youth group in Pohnlangas, Madolenihmw and the youth came and took the keys as well. Amy thought that the message is so good that I should share it at the College of Micronesia with the college students this Saturday. I am so glad that biblical truths on godly relationships, my silly stories and testimonies and these keys on a necklace can very possibly make a dent on the youth culture here in Pohnpei where sexual purity and godly relationships has not been championed.

MICRONESIA 2013 - Praying for the Sick

Praying for the Sick
I feel so blessed to live in a nation that: (1) blesses and stands with Israel, and (2) allows you to come into their state hospital and pray for every sick person, no questions asked. Micronesia: Great is your destiny! Jesse, Tanya, Ben, Jonas and I joined a group of EHC workers and MDMI students as we traveled from Madolenihmw to the Pohnpei State Hospital to pray for the sick today. Once again, everyone that we prayed for received a healing touch from Yeshua.

MICRONESIA 2013 - Praying at the Mysterious Ancient Ruins of Nan Madol

Praying at the Mysterious Ancient Ruins of Nan Madol
[Christian's Facebook from Post 2-26-13] Hey everyone! We would like to call all prayer warriors and intercessors to join us as our Iris Micronesia tribe is going to the ruins of Nan Madol this week to step onto heavenly trading floor on the sea of glass to trade the blood of Jesus for the blood spilt at this demonic stronghold where human sacrifices took place. It will be your Wednesday night that we will be praying and taking communion... there. Please feel free to spread the word to any and all prayer networks. This is going to be huge for this island and all of Micronesia. The indigenous Pohnpeians will be repenting on behalf of the original inhabitants that committed such atrocities. The demonic strongholds grip WILL be loosened and Micronesia WILL come to Yeshua! We declare it! Thank you so much!

.
[Jesse's Email from 3-1-13] Thank you all so much for praying. Mission accomplished successfully. We were aware of the reality of the darkness there before hand from looking into the recent history of the place. A man filming an episode of Ghosthunter there had a "Ghost woman" spirit manifest with one large eye and come and kill him right there on film. Also a team of German archeologists tryin to excavate where the skeletons of bodies were burried were all attacked by demons and killed. occurence like these cause so much of the island to be afraid to even venture near it. It is an 18 KM wide ancient city built hundreds of years ago be twin sorcerer brothers. there is no explanation for how they moved some of the giant stones from the other side of the mountain while building the city but legend tells that they used demonic powers to fly the large stone pillars over the mountain. We believe through the act today of repentance and communion right there at the human sacrifice altar that the power that invited that stronghold was broken and we are going to experience the result of the breakthrough by transformation on this island. It is so needed, just last week a young woman was murdered here near us and her body found dumped in the forest. But no more of this! Jesus is declaring His redemption over this island. We will continue going to some of the other high places on the island and trading the blood of Christ for the blood of the inocent victims of human sacrifice and murder.
.
We so appreciate your prayers. Thank you! The whole atmosphere shifted and from heaviness it turned into freedom and life.
