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.

It’s Personal

My child, it’s not a shallow pursuit for you. It’s personal. It’s a passion and a vision I have given to you. Do not despise small beginnings. Do not let others destroy the dream. Hang on to Me. Hang on to the purpose I have given you. Do not look to the right or the left. Do not be distracted or discouraged. Focus on Me. Keep the vision clear in your heart and mind. Trust Me. Be submitted to Me and I will make your path straight. 

Give Me your desires

My child, keep your eyes fixed on Me. Walk in a manner worthy of Me and I will give you the desires of your heart. Give Me all your desires. Give Me all your thoughts. I will in turn give you My mind and thoughts in every matter. My desire is to flow through you in such a way that people will be drawn to Me. They will experience Me when they encounter you. My love, My power and My light will flow through you when you give over every part, every desire, every bit of your will to Me. Do you want a powerful life? Die to self and be awakened to live in the Spirit. This is the life I have called you to. 

I want your all

My child, I want every part of you. I desire to be your all and all. I know that when I have every bit of you you will be completely satisfied and fulfilled. If you keep one thing back, no matter how small, it will nag at you and end up eating you alive. The enemy is aware of this and will try to keep you from surrendering that one thing over to Me. But trust Me My child. You are completely safe and secure in My hands. The enemy will take that thing and use it against you the minute you refuse to give it over. By not giving it to Me, you are placing it in the enemy’s hands for his purposes. Who would you trust more? Him or Me? That’s your choice. Know that I am your Father who loves you with an everlasting love. His is the father of lies. Come My child, give Me your all. I gave My all at the Cross and defeated the devil. Come and live in freedom, joy and complete satisfaction. 

Live Today

My child, live today to the full. Be present. Take in each moment and watch what I have for you today. Don’t wish away today for the future. You don’t know what the future has for you. Treasure each and every day and you will experience My presence more fully. I don’t want you to miss out on what I have for you today by longing for a better tomorrow. 

Pouring Out My Spirit

I am calling a people, a bride, out of this world. I am pouring out My Spirit and revealing Myself to the ones I am calling. Listen My child, for the days are evil and the darkness is closing in. But I am coming back and You will rule and reign in the midst of your enemies. Take up your shield of faith. Go forth in the power of My Holy Spirit. I am the Way, the Truth and the Life. All who call on My Name will be saved. 

Look Up

My child, I love you even in your failures. When you feel like you’re in a freefall into sin or despair, I love you. I never take My eyes off of you. You only need to look up and reach out and I will be there to catch you. This is the time to praise Me. This is the time to worship Me. This is the time to be thankful. Oh how the enemy hates it when you do these things when he thinks he has you in his clutches. I have overcome the evil one and when you are secure in Me so have you. So pray – praise – worship and be thankful. The battle is won. I have the victory and you are victorious in Me. Rejoice – shout – proclaim! The Mighty Hand of the Lord has gone before you and secured the victory. Don’t every wallow in the pit of despair for I have rescued you and you are Mine. You are chosen. You are My pure and spotless bride. 

Going Deeper

My child, I am here with you. I am your refuge. I am your peace. Come to Me now and bring to Me what troubles your soul. Give Me what breaks your heart. I am here. I am your comfort. When the fire rages I am your Living Water that quenches the flames. I desire to go deep with you My child. Sometimes going deeper includes suffering. Suffering is not meant to break you, but to embolden you, to draw you closer to Me and burn off all the dross so that the reflection of My is evident to all. I am doing a purifying work. Let that work do its job. You are My pure and spotless bride. I died so that you would be reconciled to the Holy Father, presented to Him holy and blameless. Because of My death and resurrection you now have that position. This temporary suffering allows you to experience the deeper more intimate relationship I desire. Come to Me and bring Me your pain. I am what you need. Release and surrender everything. I have so much for you, but it requires complete release and surrender.

Valley of Decision

My child, the days are numbered, the bowls of wrath which are prepared for the day of decision are tipping. But I wish none to perish. These are the days that I am pouring out My Spirit. These are the days of decision. For the day of the Lord is near in the valley of decision.

2 Peter 3:9 Joel 3:14

Set Apart

My child, I care for you. I have a personal interest in what goes on in your life. My desire for you is that you would set yourself apart from this world and submit to My will for your life. Too many are going the way of the world. Too many are succumbing to the distractions and pleasures of the evil one. To be set apart takes courage and resolve. Be courageous. Take your stand. Do not be lured away by the subtle distractions of the enemy. There is much to do. Consecrate yourself to Me. Turn your heart towards Me. I will fill you with My Spirit. I will accomplish My will in and through you. 

Love One Another

My child, I desire that you, as My body, love one another. You all have faults and no one is perfect. My compassion, mercy and love covers a multitude of sins. Be patient with one another. Build up and encourage. This world is hard enough on us to be in turmoil with the brethren. Unity and love is what I am looking for. Peace and joy. Learn to walk with wisdom, understanding that the time is short and the days are few. Regard others as more important than yourself. Rejoice with those who rejoice and weep with those who weep. Serve with gladness of heart. Do not wait to be asked, volunteer our services and lend a helping hand. When I decide to move, I will move. All I need is a willing and empty vessel. Hebrews 13:20-21
