As`sem´blance
n.1.Resemblance; likeness; appearance. Care I for the . . . stature, bulk, and big assemblance of a man? Give me the spirit. - Shak.
2.An assembling; assemblage. To weete [know] the cause of their assemblance.  - Spenser.

2 Cor 5:12  AMP   We are not commending ourselves to you again, but we are providing you with an occasion and incentive to be [rightfully] proud of us, so that you may have a reply for those who pride themselves on surface appearances [on the virtues they only appear to have], although their heart is devoid of them.   

Jude 3-4  NKJV For certain men have crept in unnoticed, who long ago were marked out for this condemnation, ungodly men, who turn the grace of our God into lewdness and deny the only Lord God and our Lord Jesus Christ. 

Rev 18:9-10, 14 NKJV               The World Mourns Babylon's Fall 
"The kings of the earth who committed fornication and lived luxuriously with her will weep and lament for her, when they see the smoke of her burning, 10 standing at a distance for fear of her torment, saying,'Alas, alas, that great city Babylon, that mighty city! For in one hour your judgment has come.' 
14 The fruit that your soul longed for has gone from you, and all the things which are rich and splendid have gone from you, and you shall find them no more at all.

The Lord spoke:
“For centuries, now, there have come into My church men depraved and deprived of understanding who turn the grace of God into an excuse for sin. False teachers abound and so do those who are hypocrites, who teach one thing but do another yet do not admit their struggles, have become too proud, and in this manner feign true healing and deliverance.
My presence is LIFE to your soul.  Yet many teach that you are not to seek “experiences” but only the WORD.  BUT I AM THE LIVING WORD.  I AM AN EXPERIENCE !  I AM a MOVING, living, breathing SPIRIT and I can be felt, heard, smelled, seen, and touched.  MEN SAW the 
Cloud of My Glory in the old temple made of stone.  They could not even enter at times or stand because of the cloud of glory.  How did they know it was a cloud if they couldn’t see it ?
Yet men, unbelieving and devoid of understanding, listening to the ramblings of “educated” men of their own kind say that you are not to seek My MANIFEST PRESENCE ?  How absurd and unbelieving that is My beloveds.  It has brought many to a place of apostasy in not believing that I still heal, still raise the dead, and still speak to men !

Yet you think you can have UNITY with such without strife ?  How is it that you think you can dwell with UNBELIEF and fear of man ?  Have you not read that if two are to walk together they must be agreed ?  Then how can they know unless it is demonstrated that I still am on the throne and doing miracles and signs and wonders ?  I made it clear that THESE SIGNS WILL FOLLOW ALL WHO BELIEVE.  NOT SOME,  but ALL !
Mark 16:17-18 NKJV  …In My name they will cast out demons ; they will speak with new tongues;  18 they will take up serpents; and if they drink anything deadly, it will by no means hurt them; they will lay hands on the sick, and they will recover."  

What did I say of the unbelieving ?  Rev 21:7-8   But the cowardly, unbelieving , abominable, murderers, sexually immoral, sorcerers, idolaters, and all liars shall have their part in the lake which burns with fire and brimstone, which is the second death."   NKJV

I came in revival in CANADA and in the UNITED STATES and men mocked My Most Holy Spirit and said that the work I did was NOT of GOD.  I poured out My love and grace, and men quenched the revival accusing others of moving in demonic signs and wonders.  Have you not read, Mark 3:28-30 AMP Truly and solemnly I say to you, all sins will be forgiven the sons of men, and whatever abusive and blasphemous things they utter;  29 But whoever speaks abusively against or maliciously misrepresents the Holy Spirit can never get forgiveness, but is guilty of and is in the grasp of an everlasting trespass.  30 For they persisted in saying, He has an unclean spirit.
They accused My servants of misrepresenting My Holy Spirit, saying the HOLY ONE was unclean. And they have no remorse about it, and go on in their delusion stirring up trouble, condemning the upright in heart.

It is true that in all churches there are charlatans, and there are good men and women, boys and girls.  There is a remnant in the midst of the assembly of the blind. And I tell you that what I do next will shock the unbelieving as well. BUT I WILL HAVE A PURE AND SPOTLESS BRIDE ONLY BY BRINGING MY MOST HOLY SPIRIT IN POWER.  YOU CANNOT ACHIEVE HOLINESS APART FROM MY SPIRIT !  YOU CANNOT ACHIEVE YOUR OWN PERFECTION BY STRIVING AND WORKING HARD. THAT IS THE DECEPTION OF ALL DECEPTIONS. YOU CAN DO NOTHING APART FROM ME !  THERE IS NOT ONE THING YOU CAN DO OF YOUR OWN WILL THAT HAS IT’S ORIGIN IN ME.  YOU ARE BEREFT AND BARREN APART FROM MY LIFE IN YOU.  IT IS MY PRESENCE, AND MY POWER THAT CHANGES YOUR HEARTS AND SOULS.  ALL YOUR STRIVING IS NOTHING COMPARED TO A TOUCH FROM ME.

I am going to do something in this generation which is a recapitulation of fulfilled prophecies, and that will startle the unbelief out of this generation !  I AM NOT LIMITED !  There is nothing too hard for ME.  You will not be able to take credit without great consequence, for ONLY MY SPIRIT, MY SON, will have the credit for what I do.  THOSE who try to manipulate for their gain will be removed.  They will be like Nebuchadnezzar crawling in the grass like an animal if they do not submit to MY WILL, and give HONOR to MY NAME. I will remove the Nicolaitans out of My true church.  Men will no longer serve those who make a name for themselves.  Men will not give honor to thieves and liars.  THEY WILL FOLLOW AFTER HOLINESS BECAUSE THEY WILL ONCE AGAIN SEE FRUIT IN THE LIVES OF THE TRUE CHURCH, THE REMNANT.  I will remove the kingdom of SELF !  I will reestablish the true foundation in the true church.  The Harlot church will be hated, and their candlesticks removed.  Men will no longer give praise to men over praise to ME.  Men will no longer oppress without severe consequence.  I will give grace to all who REPENT.  BUT I WILL ONCE AGAIN RULE AND REIGN IN MY TRUE CHURCH !  I WILL BE PREEMINENT !

I WILL DO SIGNS ON EARTH AND IN THE HEAVENS ABOVE. I WILL REESTABLISH THE APOSTOLIC FOUNDATIONS AND MY PROPHETS, AND THE FEAR OF GOD WILL REIGN ONCE AGAIN OVER THE FEAR OF MAN.  YOU WILL CAST OUT THAT DEMON FROM YOUR MIDST.  YOU WILL ONCE AGAIN WALK IN INTEGRITY OF HEART AND ACTIONS.  MY TRUE CHURCH WILL CARE FOR THE ORPHANS AND WIDOWS, FOR THE HOMELESS AND DESTITUTE.  THOSE THAT DON’T WILL BE DESTITUTE THEMSELVES.  FOR THERE IS A LAW OF SOWING AND REAPING. IT IS ESTABLISHED AND YOU WILL SEE THE REVERANCE FOR MY NAME CHANGE IN THIS GENERATION IN THE MOUTHS OF THE HOLY.  YES MEN WILL STILL MOCK AND SCORN WHAT THEY DON’T UNDERSTAND.  BUT THEIR TONGUES WILL BE QUICKLY SILENCED AS THOSE WERE WHO PERSECUTED MY FIRST APOSTLES.  I AM RAISING UP AN APOSTOLIC GENERATION THAT WILL NO LONGER “SETTLE” FOR LESS.  THEY HAVE BEEN DISCONTENT WITH THE CHURCH BECAUSE I HAVE MADE THEM DISCONTENT WITH JUST A LITTLE OF ME.  I HAVE PUT A HOLY DISCONTENTMENT IN MANY THAT THEY WOULD PURSUE ME WITH ALL OF THEIR HEARTS, AND ALL OF THEIR MIND, AND ALL OF THEIR STRENGTH, AND FIND THE TRUE GOD OF MIRACLES.

ARISE SONS OF MEN, AND TAKE YOUR PLACE.  MOVE OUT AT MY COMMAND AND WAIT FOR YOUR ORDERS, FOR I AM COMING ON THE WINGS OF THE WIND.  I WILL ESTABLISH TRUTH AND JUSTICE IN YOUR DAY, AND YOU WILL SEE THE TRAVAIL OF YOUR SOULS !  MY LOVE WILL OVERPOWER YOU AND ALL YOU TOUCH !  I LOVE YOU AND WILL POUR OUT MY LOVE LIKE A RAGING RIVER TO ALL WHO WILL COME.”

Isa 35:7-9 NKJV    Strengthen the weak hands, and make firm the feeble knees. 
4 Say to those who are fearful-hearted, "Be strong, do not fear! Behold, your God will come with vengeance, with the recompense of God; He will come and save you." 5 Then the eyes of the blind shall be opened, And the ears of the deaf shall be unstopped. 6 Then the lame shall leap like a deer, And the tongue of the dumb sing. For waters shall burst forth in the wilderness, And streams in the desert. 7 The parched ground shall become a pool, And the thirsty land springs of water; In the habitation of jackals, where each lay, There shall be grass with reeds and rushes. 8 A highway shall be there, and a road, And it shall be called the Highway of Holiness . The unclean shall not pass over it, But it shall be for others. Whoever walks the road, although a fool, Shall not go astray. 9 No lion shall be there, Nor shall any ravenous beast go up on it; It shall not be found there. But the redeemed shall walk there,  

Luke 6:43-45 NKJV                         A Tree Is Known by Its Fruit                 (Matt 7:15-20)
"For a good tree does not bear bad fruit , nor does a bad tree bear good fruit .  44 For every tree is known by its own fruit . For men do not gather figs from thorns, nor do they gather grapes from a bramble bush.  45 A good man out of the good treasure of his heart brings forth good; and an evil man out of the evil treasure of his heart brings forth evil. For out of the abundance of the heart his mouth speaks.  

1 Tim 5:24-25 AMP   The sins of some men are conspicuous (openly evident to all eyes), going before them to the judgment [seat] and proclaiming their sentence in advance; but the sins of others appear later [following the offender to the bar of judgment and coming into view there].  25 So also, good deeds are evident and conspicuous, and even when they are not, they cannot remain hidden [indefinitely].

Gal 5:22-26 NKJV    But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, 23 gentleness, self-control. Against such there is no law. 24 And those who are Christ's have crucified the flesh with its passions and desires. 25 If we live in the Spirit, let us also walk in the Spirit. 26 Let us not become conceited, provoking one another, envying one another. 

James 3:15-17 NKJV   For where envy and self-seeking exist, confusion and every evil thing are there. 17 But the wisdom that is from above is first pure, then peaceable, gentle, willing to yield, full of mercy and good fruits, without partiality and without hypocrisy.

Rom 7:13-25 AMP         Did that which is good then prove fatal [bringing death] to me? Certainly not! It was sin, working death in me by using this good thing [as a weapon], in order that through the commandment sin might be shown up clearly to be sin, that the extreme malignity and immeasurable sinfulness of sin might plainly appear .  14 We know that the Law is spiritual; but I am a creature of the flesh [carnal, unspiritual], having been sold into slavery under [the control of] sin.  15 For I do not understand my own actions [I am baffled, bewildered]. I do not practice or accomplish what I wish, but I do the very thing that I loathe [which my moral instinct condemns].
16 Now if I do [habitually] what is contrary to my desire, [that means that] I acknowledge and agree that the Law is good (morally excellent) and that I take sides with it.   17 However, it is no longer I who do the deed, but the sin [principle] which is at home in me and has possession of me.
18 For I know that nothing good dwells within me, that is, in my flesh. I can will what is right, but I cannot perform it. [I have the intention and urge to do what is right, but no power to carry it out.]   19 For I fail to practice the good deeds I desire to do, but the evil deeds that I do not desire to do are what I am [ever] doing.
20  Now if I do what I do not desire to do, it is no longer I doing it [it is not myself that acts], but the sin [principle] which dwells within me [fixed and operating in my soul].  21  So I find it to be a law (rule of action of my being) that when I want to do what is right and good, evil is ever present with me and I am subject to its insistent demands.  22 For I endorse and delight in the Law of God in my inmost self [with my new nature]. [Ps 1:2.]
23  But I discern in my bodily members [in the sensitive appetites and wills of the flesh] a different law (rule of action) at war against the law of my mind (my reason) and making me a prisoner to the law of sin that dwells in my bodily organs [in the sensitive appetites and wills of the flesh].  24   O unhappy and pitiable and wretched man that I am! Who will release and deliver me from [the shackles of] this body of death?  25  O thank God! [He will!] through Jesus Christ (the Anointed one) our Lord!  So then indeed I, of myself with the mind and heart, serve the Law of God, but with the flesh the law of sin.  
2 Cor 13:7-8 AMP    But I pray to God that you may do nothing wrong, not in order that we [our teaching] may appear to be approved, but that you may continue doing right, [though] we may seem to have failed and be unapproved.  8 For we can do nothing against the Truth [not serve any party or personal interest], but only for the Truth [which is the Gospel].
