About Karen Lemburg

Hi I'm Karen, wife, mother and grandmother. I am on the journey of a more intimate relationship with God. I'm blessed to married to a wonderful husband who is also in pursuit of intimacy with our Lord. We work together in real estate and ministry. We have four children, seven grandchildren and two great-grandchildren.

Spiritual Illiteracy

Illiteracy is an awful thing. It prevents people from healthy development. But in a way, they can’t be blamed for their failure to understand, since this weakness imprisons them. Sometimes their environment prevents them from learning and sometimes they’ve simply made that choice. 

            What about the spiritually illiterate—that is, those who don’t have a clue about God and His ways? When talking with people we need to realize that they may not be able to grasp what we’re sharing. So we need to be compassionate and patient as God reveals that first glimmer of hope through us. We must realize that while some have chosen spiritual illiteracy, others may not even have been exposed to the truth. 

            Our job is to speak God’s truth. And realizing that people may lack the ability to understand will help us to share His truth in love, rather than standing in judgment over them.

Rest to the Weary

My child, listen to Me. In this world there are many choices and distractions. So many things clamoring for your attention. So many things to think about and to try and figure out. Only one thing is important. Come to Me, My child. Come and soak in My presence. Abide in Me. In this world there is terror and destruction, pestilence and disease. But you My child, abide in My shelter, dwell under My wings. I am your shield. So many look for answers outside of Me, but you are to remain in Me, steadfast, protected and in My care. You will experience peace that surpasses understanding. The cares of this world will not affect you. People will notice you are not affected by them and will want to know your secret. I am your secret. Lead them to Me, the only One who can bring comfort to this world that is caught up in crisis and despair. Bring them to Me and I will bring rest to the weary. 

Limitless

My child, you may try to limit Me, but My power is limitless. I can do above and beyond what you are capable of asking or thinking. My ways are so much higher than yours. Release your faith and come up higher to the place of the unlimited potential I have for you. Never put limits on what I can do through you. 

Fulness of Joy

My child, as you surrender all to Me, I will give you everything you need. You will see with My eyes, you will hear My voice, you will operate in the supernatural spiritual realm and experience all I have for you. Fulness of joy is in Me alone. 

He is coming!

O hear from heaven, rejoice in the Lord. Hear the sound of the trumpet. Hear the mighty roar. The Lord our God is coming! He is coming for the lost, for the hurting, for the poor. Shout for joy and sing aloud. It is a great and glorious day. A day when all men, tribes and nations will see our glorious Lord coming in the clouds. Coming to avenge the saints. To bring justice to all who have suffered for His Name. 

Choose Life

My child, the path is laid out in front of you. Walk in it. I am the way, the truth and the life. I am calling you to a deeper more intimate path. Will you choose My way? In Me is life, peace and joy. Choose life.

I Am Your Prize

You hear Me because you take the time to listen. I will speak to anyone who has ears to hear and will spend time in My presence. Not only do I want to impart words to you, but I want to give you My power, My love, My strength and My joy. I desire you to walk in all I have for you. Life is short and you can’t do what I’ve called you to do in your own strength. You need to rely on Me daily. Moment by moment, trusting and believing that I will bring to pass that which I have ordained. Be set apart from this world. Release what you have been holding on to. Reach for Me, for I am your prize. I am your joy, your peace and your strength. 

These are the things I will do

“I will lead the blind by a way they do not know, in paths they do not know I will guide them. I will make darkness into light before them, and rugged places into plains. These are the things I will do, and I will not leave them undone.” Isaiah 42:16
