My name is Pastor Tony Catron I graduate from K.S.U. with a degree in electronic/electrical engineering. While doing that I became a Junior Deacon and also a musician in my dad's ministry in Cleveland, Ohio. Years later, my career took me to Michigan where I worked as a Electrical/Electronic Engineer. While in Michigan I became a Minister, then later went to Seminary training at Birmingham Bible Institute and became an Elder at a large Pentecostal church in Michigan called LLCC. I was called to the ministry by God. So I headed up an outreach ministry based on the End Times, dealing with restoration in people lives. Then my dad called me back to Ohio to help him Pastor his church. During that time, God changed my outreach ministry, turning it into a full-time restoration ministry. He gave me the name Ark of Covenant Ministries and the rest is history.

The Subjugation of the Human Soul

Subjugate means to bring under complete control; conquer; master. To make submissive or subservient; enslave.

Where, When and How Is Subjugation Implemented?

Between the ages of 6-14, children and teenagers are subjugated by being introduced to control. They are told what to do and when to do it. They are also introduced into vices, such as anger, pride, and most importantly selfishness. Kids encounter selfishness in school, primarily in the lunch room. When it comes time to share food, children are possessive and that type of behaviour follows suite at home with their siblings. In a household where sharing is common, this behaviour would be surprising to the parents. Teachers further this type of mentality by assigning you your own things, desk, locker, and supplies and so forth.

You can be subjugated by anything if you have no knowledge of that thing. This is why its important to be taught. Who is training your child? You or the school?

Who’s Report Do You Believe Jesus or Man?

Because of so many options in the world today, along with their emotional attachments, our hearts are endlessly persuaded to other people’s points of view, even when we don’t have a clear understanding of the matter at hand. So many times, we’ll rely on blind faith in that person over our reason. So we base our logic and understanding and wisdom on our misguided, emotional, blind faith. This would explain in some ways why we do the things we do. There is a saying I often use: “It’s the choices we make that determine our position and end in this life,” and where our souls will spend eternity. The Bible tells us that everything is good in our own eye. The Word of God also says this:

1 Corinthians 13:12, 12 For now we see through a glass, darkly; but then face to face: now I know in part; but then shall I know even as also I am known. All of us at one time has looked through a glass darkly but now we should see through that glass clearly, that your hope want turn into is just hopelessness.

Proverbs 18:21 says, 21 Death and life are in the power of the tongue: and they that love it shall eat the fruit thereof.

You hear many times people say things like, “Don’t speak that into existence,” or “Only speak what you know and testify what you see.”

John 3:11 says, 11 Verily, verily, I say unto thee, We speak that we do know, and testify that we have seen; and ye receive not our witness.

Also, 2 Thessalonians 2:9-13 adds, 9 Even him, whose coming is after the working of Satan with all power and signs and lying wonders, 10 And with all deceivableness of unrighteousness in them that perish; because they received not the love of the truth, that they might be saved. 11 And for this cause God shall send them strong delusion, that they should believe a lie: 12 That they all might be damned who believed not the truth, but had pleasure in unrighteousness. 13 But we are bound to give thanks alway to God for you, brethren beloved of the Lord, because God hath from the beginning chosen you to salvation through sanctification of the Spirit and belief of the truth:

So there is one question you need to ask yourself: Who’s report do you believe?

The Word of God is telling you in Proverbs 14:12-17, 12 There is a way which seemeth right unto a man, but the end thereof are the ways of death. 13 Even in laughter the heart is sorrowful; and the end of that mirth is heaviness. 14 The backslider in heart shall be filled with his own ways: and a good man shall be satisfied from himself. 15 The simple believeth every word: but the prudent man looketh well to his going. 16 A wise man feareth, and departeth from evil: but the fool rageth, and is confident. 17 He that is soon angry dealeth foolishly: and a man of wicked devices is hated.

Proverbs 21:2-6 also says, 2 Every way of a man is right in his own eyes: but the LORD pondereth the hearts. 3 To do justice and judgment is more acceptable to the LORD than sacrifice. 4 An high look, and a proud heart, and the plowing of the wicked, is sin. 5 The thoughts of the diligent tend only to plenteousness; but of every one that is hasty only to want. 6 The getting of treasures by a lying tongue is a vanity tossed to and fro of them that seek death.

The Scriptures

Matthew 6:30-31 (KJV)

30 Wherefore, if God so clothe the grass of the field, which to day is, and to morrow is cast into the oven, shall he not much more clothe you, O ye of little faith?

31 Therefore take no thought, saying, What shall we eat? or, What shall we drink? or, Wherewithal shall we be clothed?

Sometime We Want Our Soul, to Pay the Cost for What Our Flesh Has Bought

Human beings have a innate desire to destabilize themselves and all those individuals around them. In other words, if you are unhappy or unstable in your thinking or maybe even have a fear or even anger, you tend to surround yourself with like minded people. You may even in some cases be drawn to those type of individuals to your own detriment. Then others will look at you, classifying you with that type of person with statements like, “birds of a feather flock together” or “you are what your eat.”

Amos 3:3 says, 3 Can two walk together, except they be agreed?

This is making the same statement as a “bird of the same feather will stick together.” But getting to the root of the matter, there must be an under lining problem in you life that has been hidden and/or covered up that is coming to the surface out of a need for something that wasn’t fulfilled. Possibly hurt or emotional baggage that was not dealt with in some point in your growth both spiritually and psychological. As humans we are constantly introduced to traumatic and emotional events or situations between the ages of 5 through the age of 30 years that have yet to come to a resolution. These events have caused us to make the wrong decisions in life that we are feeling the results of today.

Here are a list of 7 major things that have caused individuals to make some terrible and sometimes unfortunate mistakes in life:

  1. Abandonment issues
  2. Abuse issues
  3. Loneliness issues
  4. Low-self esteem
  5. Self-Hatred
  6. Mentally unbalance
  7. No spirit to soul balance

Matthew 11:28-30 says, 28 Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. 29 Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me; for I am meek and lowly in heart: and ye shall find rest unto your souls. 30 For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light.

This your time and this the right place to let yourself be set free in Jesus Christ today. In the book 2 Corinthians, its tells us we have to let go of everything that is holding us back and make that step to a new life.

2 Corinthians 5:7-10 says, 7 (For we walk by faith, not by sight:) 8 We are confident, I say, and willing rather to be absent from the body, and to be present with the Lord. 9 Wherefore we labour, that, whether present or absent, we may be accepted of him. 10 For we must all appear before the judgment seat of Christ; that every one may receive the things done in his body, according to that he hath done, whether it be good or bad.

You must remember whom the Lord sets free is free indeed. Romans 14:12-17 says, 12 So then every one of us shall give account of himself to God. 13 Let us not therefore judge one another any more: but judge this rather, that no man put a stumblingblock or an occasion to fall in his brother’s way. 14 I know, and am persuaded by the Lord Jesus, that there is nothing unclean of itself: but to him that esteemeth any thing to be unclean, to him it is unclean. 15 But if thy brother be grieved with thy meat, now walkest thou not charitably. Destroy not him with thy meat, for whom Christ died. 16 Let not then your good be evil spoken of: 17 For the kingdom of God is not meat and drink; but righteousness, and peace, and joy in the Holy Ghost.

Also Galatians 5:13-17 says, 13 For, brethren, ye have been called unto liberty; only use not liberty for an occasion to the flesh, but by love serve one another. 14 For all the law is fulfilled in one word, even in this; Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself. 15 But if ye bite and devour one another, take heed that ye be not consumed one of another. 16 This I say then, Walk in the Spirit, and ye shall not fulfil the lust of the flesh. 17 For the flesh lusteth against the Spirit, and the Spirit against the flesh: and these are contrary the one to the other: so that ye cannot do the things that ye would.

To all who would be a child of the King, do as Jesus has commanded.

As Oxygen Is to the Blood, so Is the Holy Ghost to Your Soul

What is the unique relationship between oxygen and blood? Oxygen is necessary for cell growth and energy. It enters a persons bloodstream through the lungs. The blood carries oxygen to the cells of the body. In the cells, oxygen combines with the chemicals obtained from food to produce energy needed for each cell to preform its function in the body.

In the book “The Blood Covenant,” it talks of a blood covenant or an agreement for life between two individuals that can not be broken by death. One can only reflect back over the Biblical past of how God required a sacrifice. It was always a blood sacrifice. In all of the atonement sacrifices or offering God requires, its one of blood. However, there was only one human by the name Jesus Christ who was sacrificed for all the sins of this world committed by humans. God would only accept a blood sacrifice, because there is life in the blood. You must remember we serve a God who is alive, not dead.

Recall when Cain slew Able, and how Able’s blood cried unto the Lord. Genesis 4:9-11 says, 9 And the Lord said unto Cain, Where is Abel thy brother? And he said, I know not: Am I my brother’s keeper? 10 And he said, What hast thou done? the voice of thy brother’s blood crieth unto me from the ground. 11 And now art thou cursed from the earth, which hath opened her mouth to receive thy brother’s blood from thy hand;

As you can see there is life in the blood. Even in the dark world you never hear those involved with Satanic and Demonic practices say things like, “Let’s make a corpse sacrifice.” You can’t get anything from nothing, and you don’t go to sport arenas to see your favorite corpse running track or your favorite baseball player trying to strike someone out when all the players are out. You do realize Christ died for the living, not Timmy and the Grave Yard Crew. The God of god’s is not dead. How can He be when He created death to our understanding the concept of what death is. Realize this: God gave His only Son as a blood sacrifice for all of humanity.

Romans 3:23-25 reads, 23 For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God; 24 Being justified freely by his grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus: 25 Whom God hath set forth to be a propitiation through faith in his blood, to declare his righteousness for the remission of sins that are past, through the forbearance of God;

Leviticus 17:13-14 says, 13 And whatsoever man there be of the children of Israel, or of the strangers that sojourn among you, which hunteth and catcheth any beast or fowl that may be eaten; he shall even pour out the blood thereof, and cover it with dust. 14 For it is the life of all flesh; the blood of it is for the life thereof: therefore I said unto the children of Israel, Ye shall eat the blood of no manner of flesh: for the life of all flesh is the blood thereof: whosoever eateth it shall be cut off.
