This video is a teaching called Portait of a Servant by Michael Boldea Jr. In this teaching - which is excellent - he quotes 1 Samuel 15:22 which I will post underneath the video with another important scripture - and Michael Boldea Jr. also quotes an unknown author in this video with the following words:
Most people do not want to know the will of God in order to know it - they want to know the will of God in order to consider it. - unknown
Maybe this is why Moses went up to the mountain alone. The people said, you go up there and find out what God says and come back down here and tell us ( I'm paraphrasing that story not quoting from scripture ). It is reasonable to consider they chose to do that - sending Moses and not going themselves so they could have the excuse not to obey if they didn't like the message whereas if the people were told by God directly they would have to obey. But that was then and this is now....
The Word - Jesus Christ came in the flesh, shed His own blood and died on a cross at Calvary, took the keys to hell and the grave and ascended to heaven where He is seated at the right hand of the Father so now we can each have a relationship with Him. Now the Lord speaks to each of us by His Word and by The Holy Spirit. This teaching is about what a servant looks like and it centers on a certain servant named Philip. Enjoy!
1 Samuel 15 22 But Samuel replied Does the LORD delight in burnt offerings and sacrifices as much as in obeying the LORD To obey is better than sacrifice and to heed is better than the fat of rams.
Cross References
Matthew 12:7
If you had known what these words mean, 'I desire mercy, not sacrifice,' you would not have condemned the innocent.
Mark 12:33
To love him with all your heart, with all your understanding and with all your strength, and to love your neighbor as yourself is more important than all burnt offerings and sacrifices."
And the other bible scripture & relating verses that is important to this message:
John 10 27 My sheep listen to my voice I know them and they follow me.
Cross References
Isaiah 66:22
"As the new heavens and the new earth that I make will endure before me," declares the LORD, "so will your name and descendants endure.
John 10:4
When he has brought out all his own, he goes on ahead of them, and his sheep follow him because they know his voice.
John 10:14
"I am the good shepherd; I know my sheep and my sheep know me--
John 10:16
I have other sheep that are not of this sheep pen. I must bring them also. They too will listen to my voice, and there shall be one flock and one shepherd.

When Jesus was telling the Jews that he had other sheep that were not of this sheep pen he was speaking of the Gentiles who would come to Him and be one flock with the Hebrew brethren - which today we see both born again Christians who were Gentiles and now inwardly Jews and Jews who were outwardly Jews and now through Christ - inwardly Jews as well. Abraham was justifed by faith. We who are Abrahams children are justified by faith in Jesus Christ Alone. Amen? Amen!
