You HAD to get me going didn't ya KTS !

You know what men saw, including his disciples? They saw the POWER, the ANOINTING of the Holy Spirit on Jesus. They were not affected by HIS PRESENCE. The disciples went everywhere with Jesus but being in His Presence did not change them...until the day of Pentecost when the anointing, the Power of God fell on them. THEN as the Holy Spirit filled them with the PRESENCE of GOD did they change and were empowered with the Word of God.

See, everyone saw Jesus healing the sick, and even raising the dead. He turned water into wine. He fed the thousands with 2 loaves and 5 or was it 7 fish?? He taught the Word of God to the multitudes and most knew Jesus was a Prophet, the Sent One and the Messiah. They saw HIS POWER.

I do believe some of the women however were changed because the Love of Jesus on them affected them. The women that come to mind are the woman at the well (probably one of the many Mary's

and Mary of Magdeline who I believe was going to be stoned and also the Mary who broke the alabaster box and anointed the feet of Jesus.)

But them boys who were with the Lord day & night......did not change until the Holy Spirit came upon them & filled their spirits on Pentecost. Proof you want? How many times did Peter annoy Jesus? And as much as Peter loved Jesus, he denied Him. They were in 'His Presence' but were not yet re-generated. They did not have the Life of God taking residence inside them.
Same thing happened with the children of Israel. Moses KNEW God's ways for he basqued in HIS PRESENCE. Moses had communion with God. He talked with Him, got to KNOW HIM. The children of Israel did not have a personal relationship with God. They only knew God's power. They saw how God set them free from Pharoe's choke hold. How God parted the Red sea, how God gave them a cloud by day and fire by night to keep warm..the manna...and yet while Moses was communing with GOD, they built an idol with the gold given to them by Pharoe. They even wanted to go back to Egypt after all God had done for them.

To sum it all up.

The Presence of God and the Anointing go hand in hand.
