Out of the Old and Broken, Something New and Pure Is Being Birthed

(Prophetic word released on September 22, 2024.)

Suddenly, out of its back, a baby eagle (a small eaglet) emerged and began to cry.

I believe this vision is a prophetic picture of what God is doing in the prophetic company in the earth right now.

Out of the old and broken, something new and pure is being birthed.

The Shedding

This vision reflects the season many prophets have been walking through.

The eagle, beaten and broken, represents the prophetic voices that have faced intense challenges, criticism, and discouragement.

The shedding of feathers symbolizes the process of stripping away, God removing anything in our lives and ministries that no longer aligns with His heart.

Many of you have felt this deeply. You've experienced loss, rejection, and a painful shedding of an old operating system, a way of seeing and thinking.

The bashed in beak represents the warfare on your voice over the years that has left you feeling silenced, lacking confidence, and maybe even confused about your message, unsure of what it is anymore.

Earlier in the year, I shared a word called "Are You in a Molting Season?" where God revealed to me that prophets were going through a process of deep renewal, similar to an eagle losing its old feathers to grow new ones.

This recent vision takes this word further, revealing that this shedding isn't just about renewal but the birthing of something completely new.

Yes, a new prophetic company is being birthed from what was thought to be dead and gone!

Underground Prophets

During the 2020 and 2021 culture and church wars, many prophetic voices went silent and underground.

Like Kim Clement once prophesied, "Jezebel has chased away the prophets and even Elijah!"

It was an assault on the prophetic company in a time where we needed a powerful and sharp prophetic company to boldly speak into the times and defy the taunts of Jezebel. (Photo via Pexels)

And while many did and stayed true, it was a Gideon's army test to the prophetic house, blowing down like the house of straw in the three little pigs and beginning the dying process of any ineffective, compromised prophetic governances and culture from the old to make way for the birthing of the new.

It was a season of great shaking and, for many prophets, it felt like their voice had been stripped away. But I believe it was a needed test for the prophets and the Church.

Like the eagle in the vision, what appeared to be a time of defeat was, in fact, leading us into a divine process of repentance, refinement, and rebirth.

Compromise and the Battered Eagle

To me, the old eagle is also representative of all compromise in the old prophetic house that plucked out the eagle's feathers, one at a time, until it began to lose its strength, ability to fly, glory, splendor, and purity.

The bashed in beak represents the toleration of Jezebel that stole the voice from the prophets and sent them running.

But we are indeed in a "changing of the guard" season, or the "eagle pack," I should say.

Now, He is birthing a new eagle company, a generation of prophets who will rise up and speak with boldness in the midst of chaos and change with a fresh and pure voice.

Now the Eaglet Emerges from Death

The baby eagle—the eaglet—emerging from the old, battered eagle is a powerful declaration of the new prophetic voices that God is raising up.

They are an undefiled breed, coming out of the death and burial of their greatest wildernesses and now being resurrected to fullness of life in a new epoch.

Like the eaglet, they are emerging from the ground, the grave, filled with a ferocity to carry God's voice into the earth.

"I Don't Know Who I Am Anymore!"

In this time of transition and change, there are three categories of people (eagles), each going through a painful process:

1. The eagles who are refusing to change and move with the Holy Spirit into what He is doing.

2. The eagles who were a part of the old order, who are breaking out of the mold to pursue God's presence and are surrendering to the transition, even though it's the unpopular path and a quite painful internal rewiring.

3. The emerging eagles who were rejected from the old system and have been set aside for this moment of emerging.

Regardless of where you are at, you will agree that you are in a season of rapid change.

Many prophetic people have felt very lost and like their purpose has died.

At the same time, they have felt like something huge and significant is approaching... it's the tension of the birthing!

The wriggling and shedding of the eagle in the vision reflects the inner turmoil many of you have felt: the stripping away of self-reliance, pride, and past methods of operating.

This journey has not been easy. It has involved intense personal trials, a sense of being misunderstood, and even moments of questioning your calling.

And maybe, like many others, you have said, "I just don't know who I am anymore!"

But don't think this is just for the prophets. So many apostles and pastors and leaders around the world have been stripped beyond bare bones in 2024.

Yet out of this painful process, God is birthing something not just new but HOLY, and not just fresh but that carries the clarity of revelation and authority that we feel we have lost.

Yes, just as the baby eagle emerged from the old, you are stepping into a fresh identity and anointing that is going to break yokes by the hundreds and thousands.

In the season of death, God has been multiplying you for more and amplifying what you carry.

You have been pruned and refined to carry the new mantle that God is placing on you, and soon you will see that this was the setup to the breakthroughs you will see in the years to come and the ground you will take for the Kingdom.

The New Prophetic Company

This is what the new company of prophets will do:

• They will cut through the noise of culture and speak words of direction and hope.

• They will be bold in the face of opposition, and they will not be swayed by public opinion or fear of man.

• They will release a new sound, carrying the weight and authority of Heaven; their voices will bring both repentance and revival.

• They will bring strategies and solutions for the Church and culture, revealing God's plans for the future.

Can You Hear the Call?

And just as I saw the eaglet open its mouth and let out a cry, I knew the eagles (prophetic company) were already emerging and making their voices known.

They have had to fight for years through the back of the old bird, but now they are releasing their sound without apology.

Can you hear them?

Now watch as they upset the status quo and begin to flap their wings as they grow into them.

But I am not just talking to any eagles, I am talking to you, mighty ones.

The ones right now who are wrestling and trying to find themselves again in a new day. You who have been both the eagle on the ground, battered, broken, and stripped, as well as the newborn eagle who doesn't know who they are and how to fly yet.

Let me say this: God is not finished with you. You thought it was over, but it is the birthing of a new day.

After a season of feeling lost and voiceless, it's time to emerge.

He has been preparing you for this new season of influence and impact.

What felt like death was actually the preparation for rebirth.

The new prophetic company is rising, and you are it.

God is calling you to rise from the place of defeat, to embrace the new prophetic mantle He has placed upon you.

It's time to soar with fresh vision, carry boldness for battle, and release a prophetic sound that shifts atmospheres and brings revival.

So, recognize this moment for what it is. The birthing is here, and it's now time to rise, to speak, and to soar!
