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.

I Am CallingM

I am raising up a generation that not only knows Me, but who are bold and ready to take on the lies this culture has promoted. I am calling young, old and all those who have My Spirit, to be My bride, My army and My church. This people will not back down in the face of adversity but will stand for truth and life. Choose now who you will serve. Will you serve this culture or will you stand for truth? 

Opening Doors

My child, I am opening doors that no one will shut and shutting doors that no one can open. My Holy Spirit is flowing through those open doors and will bring about what I have purposed for you. The enemy has no influence over that area anymore as I have shut that door. Walk in the freedom I have provided. This is a new day. Isaiah 22:22

My Word Shall Not Pass Away

My child, be careful of  wolves in sheep’s clothing. Just because someone says they believe in Me doesn’t mean they know Me. There are those who are trying to lead My people astray and they will have to stand before Me in the day of judgement. Don’t depend on others for your faith. I am calling you into intimacy with Me. I left My Word for you. Read it and believe it. It is still true and it is not going away. Heaven and earth shall pass away, but My Words shall not pass away. My Word will lead you to intimacy with Me. Matthew 24:35

Intimacy

Intimacy ~ This word scares off most people because they have been hurt. They have put up walls to guard their hearts from ever being hurt again. The enemy knows that when you experience intimacy with Me the walls will crumble. You will know true love, true fulfillment and finally experience the pure joy of intimacy that you were created to have with Me. Don’t be afraid of intimacy with Me. I created your heart and I won’t break it.

God spoke through a stink bug

God spoke to me through a stink bug this morning…I saw a stink but down in the garage a couple of days ago, but didn’t do anything about it. Well this morning I saw him again on his back with his legs wiggling struggling to turn over. I took a pencil and helped him back on this feet. Immediately his butt went up in the air! Then the oddest thing happened. He fell back over onto his back! I felt God saying to me that even though He tries to help people in their time of need, their response is ‘defensive’ and then they go back to their prior situation even though it’s killing them. Weather it’s out of being in their comfort zone, not wanting to be told what to do, or a defense mechanism, we’re not too far off from being a stink bug. See where God is trying to help you and embrace it, don’t fight it! Your life will smell a lot better when you are obedient to Him!

 

A Clear Commitment

Speaking of Jesus’ parable of the wedding feast, the week required for such a celebration is a long time to take out of one’s busy life. And it’s all the more challenging when we don’t understand how special the occasion will actually be. It’s the same way in taking that first step toward God. Maybe we don’t have the full picture. But God promises that His event is one not to be missed, and He’s immensely gratified when we jump at His offer.
But we need to be careful. There’s no “Maybe” on God’s RSVP card. He takes no pleasure in a person who submits his life to Him begrudgingly. With Jesus we’re either all in or all out; there is no middle ground. Saying yes to Christ means receiving Him not only as Savior, but also as Lord of our life. For this reason it’s the toughest decision any of us will ever make.

Let Go

Let go of the life you’ve been holding on to. Release every care into My hands. I made you for My purpose and plan. Don’t try to fit into this culture when I’ve made you to soar above it. The more you try to fit in, the more miserable you’ll be. Let go. I have more for you than you could ever dream of. John 12:25 Matthew 16:25
