About Karen Lemburg

Karen LemburgThe Lord got hold of my life when I was in my early 20’s. That’s when I really began to pursue Him. Before then I had been making one bad decision after another. I am forever grateful to Jesus for pulling me out of the kingdom of darkness and into the Kingdom of His beloved Son. If not for Him, I would be just one more statistic: a lost and hopeless human in search of fulfillment and significance in all the wrong places.

I am a wife, mother and grandmother. I am not a teacher, but have facilitated several ladies Bible studies and been involved in leadership at our local church. My spiritual gifting seems mainly to be in the realm of the prophetic.

For the past several years I have been pursuing a deeper, more intimate relationship with Jesus. One morning during my prayer time I realized that I was doing most of the talking and very little listening. It occurred to me that maybe God has more to say than I had been giving Him credit for. After all, He DOES know everything! So I told Him that I was going to shut up and start listening.

When I take the time to listen, He actually speaks to me. And I have begun writing down what He reveals in a journal. When I sense God’s prompting, I send them out to everyone on my email list. You can receive them by subscribing to “A Personal Word from the Father’s Heart.” I hope they bless and comfort you as much as they do me.

Communing with God
For Christians, the Bible talks about two kinds of sinful behavior: periodically falling into sin—a pitfall—and the practice of sin as a lifestyle. The Bible cautions us against stepping into the pitfall of sin, certainly, but more importantly it warns against choosing sin as a way of life. Now we’d all be in big trouble if alienation from God resulted from occasionally falling into sin through the weakness of our flesh. Still, we must not discount sin of any kind as being insignificant in God’s eyes. The very nature of sin is that it has potential to spread, just like a cancer does in the body. All sin runs along a path that leads somewhere. The big question is this: when does sin as a pitfall develop into sin as practice? Where’s the line between sin that merely displeases God and sin that drives His Spirit from us? ... See MoreSee Less

Communing with God
Christians often overlook something really important: God isn’t into guilt trips; He’s on a gift trip. Everything we need has already been provided in Christ. Picture God’s outstretched hand, all His abundance there for the taking by anyone who will simply seek Him. We can have all we want of God, but He will never force anything on us. God doesn’t brow-beat or coerce His children. The gift itself should provide more than sufficient motivation to seek greater intimacy with Jesus. So, resorting to the use of guilt to compel us to take advantage of such abundance seems a bit ridiculous. It’s true that we are obligated to build relationship with the Lord. But a sincere pursuit of God should stem from the fact that we are assured of His promises, not through the incentive of guilt, pressure or greed. Again, God isn’t into guilt trips; He’s on a gift trip. ... See MoreSee Less

Communing with God
God loves to give His gifts to His chosen ones. He will lavish His gifts on those who are willing to receive them and are thankful. But some will reject His gifts. Some will take them and never give thanks. Some don't even realize He is extending them out to be received. Open your eyes. Receive all He has for you and be thankful for everything He offers to you. Even when the gift includes suffering. "For to you it has been granted (gifted) for Christ's sake, not only to believe in Him, but to suffer for His sake. Philippians 1:29 ... See MoreSee Less
