Dr. Delisa Rodgers

The lamp has NOT yet gone out.

In 1 Samuel 3, Israel is facing a spiritual crisis. The Word of the Lord is rare, Eli’s leadership is declining, and yet—before the lamp goes out—God calls Samuel.

This prophetic Bible teaching explores what happens when one season is fading while God is raising another voice.

What if your fire feels low, but God is saying, “Not yet”?

What if the failure of people around you cannot cancel what God placed inside you?

What if you have been running to people for confirmation when God is trying to teach you how to recognize His voice for yourself?

🔥 ELI COULD NOT BLOCK SAMUEL.

The failures of one generation could not cancel God’s purpose for the next. A broken system could not silence the voice of God. And when God called Samuel, everything changed when Samuel finally answered:

“Speak, LORD; for thy servant heareth.” — 1 Samuel 3:9

In this message, Dr. Delisa Rodgers teaches from 1 Samuel 3:1–21 about:

• Recognizing the voice of God
• The significance of “the lamp…had not yet gone out”
• Eli’s decline and Samuel’s emergence
• Moving from secondhand revelation to personal encounter
• Why another person’s failure cannot cancel your calling
• Remaining positioned near the presence of God
• Responding when God calls your name

If your spiritual fire has been flickering, this message is for you.

The lamp has not yet gone out. There is still fire. There is still purpose. There is still an assignment.

🔥 NOT YET.

What happens when the house of God is still functioning, but the voice of God has become rare?

In this powerful Old Testament teaching from 1 Samuel 2–3, Dr. Delisa Rodgers examines the spiritual contrast between Eli, Samuel, and Shiloh. Eli remained in position, but compromise had weakened his spiritual leadership. Samuel, young and inexperienced, was positioned near the presence of God and learning to recognize the voice calling his name.

This episode explores the danger of becoming a spectator of a move of God you once participated in, the cost of honoring relationships above obedience, and the sovereignty of God to raise a new voice even within a broken system.

Eli’s failure could not cancel Samuel’s calling. A compromised priesthood could not silence God. And human gatekeepers could not prevent God from establishing the prophet He had chosen.

The challenge is deeply personal: Are you merely recognizing God’s voice in others, or are you positioned to hear Him for yourself?

It is time to move beyond secondhand revelation and answer the call:

“Speak, LORD; for thy servant heareth.” — 1 Samuel 3:9 (KJV)

Key Scriptures: 1 Samuel 2:22–30; 1 Samuel 3:1–21

Why do some family patterns seem to repeat themselves from one generation to the next? Is it simply history repeating itself, or is something deeper taking place?

In this episode, Apostle Dr. Delisa Rodgers explores the biblical story of Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, and Joseph through a trauma-informed and theologically grounded lens. Discover how unresolved grief, silence, fear, and emotional wounds can reshape family relationships across generations—even when the original crisis has long passed.

Drawing from The Mountain, the Mother, and the Wound, Dr. Rodgers explains the concept of the generational mutation of trauma—a pastoral framework for understanding how unhealed pain can evolve into new relational struggles unless someone chooses healing.

In this episode you'll discover:

• Why Mount Moriah changed more than one generation.
• What Scripture says—and does not say—about generational trauma.
• How Isaac, Rebekah, Jacob, and Joseph reveal different responses to unresolved pain.
• Why deliverance and emotional healing are not always the same experience.
• How Christ breaks destructive cycles and restores families.

Whether you're a Bible student, ministry leader, counselor, or someone seeking emotional and spiritual healing, this teaching will help you read familiar passages with fresh insight and renewed hope.

Genesis 24:67 (KJV)
"And Isaac brought her into his mother Sarah's tent, and took Rebekah, and she became his wife; and he loved her: and Isaac was comforted after his mother's death."

---

One of the most overlooked details in all of Scripture is not simply that Isaac married Rebekah—it is where he brought her.

The Bible does not say he built her a new home.

It says he brought her into his mother's tent.

Prophetically, this is more than geography. It is psychology. It is family systems. It is emotional inheritance.

The Hebrew word translated comforted is נָחַם (nacham). It means to be consoled, to sigh deeply, to find relief after grief. Notice the order of the verse.

Isaac marries.
Then he is comforted.

Marriage became the place where he sought relief from unresolved grief.

That is a dangerous foundation for any covenant.

God never intended your spouse to become your emotional healer in place of Him.

"The Lord is not merely calling His people back to the altar. He is calling them beyond the altar. He is healing the person who stood there, restoring the relationships that suffered because of what happened there, and redeeming the generations that inherited what was never healed there. What began as a place of sacrifice can become a place of restoration. The altar is healed. The tent is restored. The lineage is renewed. This is the work of the God who makes all things new."

"And I will restore to you the years that the locust hath eaten..." — Joel 2:25 (KJV)

"He healeth the broken in heart, and bindeth up their wounds." — Psalm 147:3

"The Spirit of the Lord GOD is upon me... to bind up the brokenhearted..." — Isaiah 61:1

---

Many believers know how to survive, but far fewer know how to become whole.

Survival is what your nervous system learned to do after pain. Wholeness is what the Holy Spirit invites you into after salvation.

Those are not the same journey.

Scripture repeatedly distinguishes between God's work of deliverance and His work of restoration. Israel came out of Egypt in one night, but it took years for Egypt to come out of Israel. Likewise, Abraham descended Mount Moriah in victory, yet Genesis continues with grief, loss, and relational consequences. The mountain was over, but the healing was not.

This pathway represents that sacred journey.

"So Abraham returned unto his young men, and they rose up and went together to Beersheba; and Abraham dwelt at Beersheba."

One of the most striking details in Genesis 22 is not what is written—it is what is missing.

Abraham went up the mountain with Isaac.

The text says Abraham came down.

Sarah is never mentioned in the narrative.

The ram appears.
The covenant continues.
The promise survives.

But Scripture never records a conversation about what the mountain cost the family.

That silence should make us pause.

What if the most dangerous opposition to your destiny doesn’t come from enemies… but from people who love you?

In this episode, Dr. Delisa Rodgers unpacks one of the most misunderstood and intense moments in Scripture — when Jesus turned to Peter and said:

“Get thee behind me, Satan.” — Matthew 16:23 (KJV)

Why would Jesus call His closest disciple Satan?

Was Peter possessed? Rebuked? Rejected?

Or was something deeper happening?

This episode explores the psychological, spiritual, and warfare dimensions of that confrontation. We examine how suggestion can function as strategy, how fear can masquerade as protection, and how even spiritually mature voices can unintentionally resist divine timing.

You will discover:

• Why the cross was the real target
• How warfare often sounds reasonable
• The difference between identity and alignment
• Why Jesus corrected sharply but restored fully
• How to discern when a voice is speaking from heaven — or from human emotion

We also connect this moment to the wilderness temptation in Matthew 4 and explore how consistent spiritual strategies attempt to detour purpose rather than destroy it.

This is not about labeling people as devils.
It is about recognizing adversarial alignment.

If you are navigating leadership, calling, relationships, or moments where obedience costs more than comfort, this episode will sharpen your discernment and strengthen your resolve.

Because sometimes “Get behind me” is not rejection.

It is repositioning.
