Good morning, good morning. Apostle Al coming to you live, January 18th, 2026. I wanna brag on God for a minute. I wanna brag on his word. I wanna brag on the things that he said he's gonna do and the things he's done. Now, what is the message for today? Evil has risen so high that when you see someone, that we talk about God now, he's called certain people to walk this thing out, to show people that it can be done. What are we talking about? Mock the perfect man. Now, when he showed me who I was, he was showing me principles that I will understand later. Now, I'm bragging on God about my life because the reality is I was wicked. I was wicked to my core, and I knew it. But I remember looking in the mirror and I says, "I don't like you." Okay, said, "Lord, change me from the inside out." We talking about mock the perfect man. I wanna give you a couple scriptures, but before I do that, I wanna show you something about life. We talking about a mental, mentally, physically, spiritually, and emotionally. And I'm gonna come back to that later, but I wanna show you where I am, but what God done for me. In the Book of Psalms 37:37, King James Version, he said, "Mock the perfect man and, uh, and behold the upright for the end of that man is peace." Oh, I'm telling you right now, we talking about what God have done. I'm bragging on him, mock the perfect man. He said, "If you wanna see if I'm real, mock this man." We talking about Apostle Al, mock him. In Psalms 37:39, he said, "But the salvation of the righteous is of the Lord. He is their strength in the time of trouble." I remember the seasons I was in trouble and I said, "Lord, you gotta get me through this." I remember I was being attacked. We talking about a spiritual attack now. It was 100, over 120 different things was being attacked, uh, was attacking me at the same time, and 119, I think I would've been fine, but 120, I was not fine. I said, "Lord, I need your help." Now we talking about the script of the Lord in the time of trouble. But also in Psalms 37 verse 23, it says the steps of a good man are ordered by the Lord and he delights in his ways. I am where I am because of the Lord directing my steps. There's no way I would have moved to be here if the Lord was not directing my steps. And how are you going to know? Because you're going to be blessed beyond your wildest dreams. My wife says, I couldn't have dreamed about a life that you have given me. That's the Lord. We talking about Mark, the perfect man. But if you notice, they use certain words. He says perfect man. He talks about a righteous man. He talks about a good man. But now we're going to something that most people don't want to deal with today. We talking about a spirituality revelation. In Proverbs chapter 10 verse 27, he says the fear of the Lord prolongs days, but the years of the wicked shall be shortened. Don't miss that now. He said the fear of the Lord prolongs days, but the years of the wicked shall be shortened. If you notice the contrast, the Lord said I'm going to prolong those days of the righteous, of the good man, of the perfect man, but I'm going to shorten them by years for the wicked. Now I understand what I didn't understand before when I watched people and their end of life. In the book of Proverbs chapter 11 verse 13, he said the integrity of the upright. That's another word now. Don't let he calling him Mark that perfect man. He said upright now. Not only is he the perfect man, but yes, he's righteous and he's a good man, but yet he's upright. Now he says the integrity. Don't miss that now. See, because a lot of people, they don't have no integrity. That's why they can't be upright and that's why they can't be that perfect man. But he said the integrity of the upright shall guide them. What? But the perverse or transgressors shall be destroyed. We talking upright. You see, in my job, they are monitoring everything, but I'm never worried about what they can see because I'm doing it right. I don't go in the files that I have no business in. I don't do things that I have no business doing. Why? Okay, and I'm going to give you another example so you can really understand what I'm saying now. Somebody called me and says, could you check? No. Why? I'm not going to check something that I'm not authorized to do. I see this is the integrity part that people don't see. We talking about Mark, the perfect man. In first Peter chapter three, verse 12, he said, "For the eyes of the Lord are over the righteous." Now we, he, he's calling them righteous again now, but I want you to m- don't miss this now. He said, "The eyes of the Lord are over the..." See, a lot of people don't see God with eyes, and right there in scripture it tells you He got, uh, He, He, He, not only can He see, but then he goes on and he said, "For His ears are open unto their prayer." So that mean He got ears, too. He ain't just got one ear, He got ears. But then it goes on, he said, "But the face of the Lord is against them that do evil." Now he's showing He's, He got a face. Not only does He have a eye, eyes, not only does He have ears, but He have a face because it said the face is against them. But why am I telling you this? I'm talking about me now, Apostle Al. I'm giving you revelation and understanding. We talk about mentally. Now, I've given you scripture. Now let's get revelation and get understanding of life. I grew up in such dysfunction that I was dysfunction. I was a dysfunctional person. I thought dysfunctional. I reacted dysfunctionally. That was my life. But mentally, even when I got married, my wife said, "Well, we need counseling." "No, I don't need counseling. I know what I need. I need a change, and that's not from the outside, that's from the inside." So I didn't go, but in the last, probably the last five years, I said, "Okay, now, I mean, I, I know the Word. I live the Word. Now let me see where I am." So I went to see a medi- a, a psy- a medical doctor, and I said I wanted to see where I was, and that was the re- that was evidently, that was the reason I went, to see where I am. And as I'm in the office and we a- he asked some questions, he says, "I, I have to stop you," he said, "because-" "I have not met many people like you." And I said, "What do you mean?" He said, "You're cut from a different cloth. You have gone through trouble, but it hasn't affected you. You have learned to adapt and overcome what have destroyed most people." He said, "To be real with you, you're at a place that I'm not even at, and I'm doing the counseling." Uh, he says, "But do you-" I knew that. I, I didn't come here for you to tell me anything other than what I know. I know mentally I am sound. I am sound not only in my mind, but I'm a- sound in my integrity. I'm sound in who I am. I know my purpose and I know who and what I am. But then we go to physical. So I go to my doctor and I go there al- I go there e- every year just like I go to my dentist, but physically my... I have my teeth. They, they're, they're strong. They, they're doing what they're supposed to do when nobody else in my family, mother or siblings, have their teeth. Why am I telling you this? Because physically, my doctor says, "If you, if I had all my patients like you, I would be out of a job." Why is he telling me? I do what I'm supposed to do to keep myself to be the physical specimen that I am for the Lord. Now, why am I telling you this? I am telling you Mark, that perfect man. It's not about me. It's about God doing what He said He's gonna do through His Word. I know you're saying, "You come on, man." Well, let's go on now. We talk about spirituality. See, I had-- I talked to a pastor. I met him probably in the last year, and he's eighty-one years old, and we, we talk frequently. And he says, "Man, I've never met nobody in my life at the place you are." And I says, "I understand that." And he goes on and he says, "You are an amazing man." I appreciate you saying that, but he's not the only one that says that. Even people who don't even know my-- know how deep I am spiritually is like, "You are this amazing man. You are an epitome of what a person wanna be." I got it, but it's not about me. It's about this word coming true in my life, Mark, the perfect man. When, when my wife told me to come, a couple days ago, she says, "Man, you're an amazing man. You are the example of what a man should be." And I appreciate that, not only as a man, but as a father. I don't run my race against no man. I run my race against myself. So even as good as she think I am today, I'm gonna try to be better tomorrow. Why? 'Cause I'm trying to perfect who I am. So when God sees me, I don't come to Him no more about sin. Why? I'm don't, I don't sin. I have no intention of sinning, have no desire to sin. I wanna live, not only to be a righteous man, but to be a perfect man. Now we're talking about emotionally. I have no depression, no anxiety. I have no issues whatsoever when it comes to emotionally. Why? 'Cause I'm at peace. I have joy. I walk around and laugh. And matter of fact, two days ago, I'm walking into work and I'm humming. I'm just singing to myself. I ain't even know nobody really was there, and a young man came by. He said, "Man, I wish I was there where you at." I said, "What are you talking about?" He said, "I hear you singing." He said, "I got joy, that place." He said, "I wanna go home, and you coming to work singing." What am I telling you? Mentally, sound. Physically, sound. Spiritually, sound. Emotionally, sound. I have a young man that told me, he says, "If you, if you didn't call me no more, I'm go- I'm coming to your house, and I'm gonna knock on your door, and I'm gonna ask you, 'What did I do wrong?' and forgive me." What? He didn't, he, he said, "I know you ain't did me wrong. I know I've done something wrong, but I'm asking you to forgive me," and I'm man enough to come to you and says, "Forgive me because I've never met a man like you. And all the people I've known, you are an amazing man, and I wanna continue to literally get everything I can out of you so you can continue to be in my life." I have a friend of mine told me, he says, he, he-- matter of fact, he called and he was crying. And I said, "What are you crying for?" He says, "I realize that one day you'll be, you'll be gone." And I have nobody else in this world like I had in you. I said, man, calm down now. I ain't going nowhere yet because remember the word says, I'm going to prolong his days. We're talking about the word of God. He said, mock that perfect man and see if he's not real, which means God's word is real. I remember writing Tyler Perry one time and I says, you can tape me. You ain't got to call me or tell me. You can videotape me, follow me, and then make a movie and see is God real. I ain't know if he's mocking me yet, but I promise you, I sent it to him and I wanted him to understand. Now, I told him it's not going to be exciting. I don't live this great life and doing things that will be newsworthy for the average person because they like drama and all this foolishness. But if you want to see if the word real, mock me because I can stand on his word. And that is the word of God for today. God bless his word and God bless the manifestation of his word in my life. Mock the perfect man.
