Happy Thanksgiving to the people of God, as we reminisce over how much we've been blessed and how we are so thankful and at the same we witness every day the hateful and demonic treatment thrust upon our people, we must be wondering what do we do now? Well...the word of God instructs us in Proverbs 3: 5-6 " trust in the Lord, with all of our hearts and lean not to thy own understanding, in all our ways acknowledge him and he will direct thy path" The only hope we have, the only certainty we have, the only promises of relief we have and the only eternal salvation that we have is Gods word. We are at a point in the history of this creation period that God is the only answer. Those that believe in what I'm saying must come together and with haste and be apart of the Spiritual awakening of our people, stand up and speak against shootings at funerals, and all other attacks in our lives. As for me my passion is in our churches, my faith and my trust equals to Truth, truth in Gods word! I pray you help us bring back to life, to resurrect if you will the AME church here in Muskogee Oklahoma. I've ask and still ask that one thousand of GODS PEOPLE come to the rescue of the Historical Ward chapel AME with a contribution of one hundred dollars to help renovate our building. God bless you and stay in his word.

In the Gospel of John in the 18th chapter we find ourselves in the final hours of our Lords early ministry. Pontius pilate has ask Jesus this infamous question " what is truth" ? However this question had been answered from Matthews Gospel starting in the 14th chapter verse 33, all through the four Gospels, this question has been ask and answered. There's not enough room to quote the many answers given in our Gospels this morning, but I challenge you start in Matthew 14:33 and read to John 18:38. I bring this point to our attention this morning because some reading this still are asking this question " what is truth "? As we look at our surroundings, our spiritual life, our cultural status, our basic beliefs, we can see that this world is confused as to what is truth and what is alternative truth? Who do we trust? Who do we follow? Well...it's not that hard too figure out who to follow! The words and the teachings of our Lord and savior Jesus Christ is the truth we're looking for, In his presence, wrapped in his spirit is were we belong, our trust and our faith is our truth. Most of you reading this are aware of my current effort to re-ignite the Spirit of God in Ward chapel AME church here in Muskogee Oklahoma, our churches are our battle ground in our effort to bring forth TRUTH! we believers know that God is our source and our strength. And lastly as I lay in bed this praying and praising God it hit me! If we could get one thousand of true believers to send the church one hundred dollars, we could fix the roof, fix the paneling and put life back in this Historic spiritual monument called Ward chapel AME church here in Muskogee Oklahoma. PO box 1374......Now that's TRUTH!

Good morning my Facebook friends, my Spirit is in full swing this morning and I have a few things to say. 1st, we as Gods people must learn to give him a chance to answer our prayers, we must understand that our creator doesn't rely on clocks, watches nor calendars. God lives in eternity and he has no reason to rush. We are living in times that demand everything right now! God doesn't move that way, he makes for you and I that takes longer than we like! 2nd, in I Chronocles Chapter 28:9, he tells Solomon how to serve effectively with a perfect heart and a willing mind! And thirdly in that same verse Gods says to Solomon that he searches all hearts, understandeth all imaginations of our thought! We have a mission, and we have a God that has supplied all of our needs..keep a perfect heart and a willing mind and watch God work!!! God those that and received! Amen!

These photos will give you an idea of the current building status of the Historic Ward Chapel in Muskogee, Oklahoma.

As you can see, there are issues with the structure, the inside sanctuary, and (not shown) damage to the roof, which currently leaks.
We are asking the community of Muskogee, our church members present and family member of the past to help resurrect this historic 1904 building.

We would appreciate you help and donations, you may reply to P.O. Box 1374, Muskogee, OK 74402.
