Karen Reeves' Testimony
Called a spiritual warrior, teacher, preacher, minister, pastor, apostle, gypsy, sister, mommy, artist, rancher, farmer, writer, and a renaissance woman. God has made her a Luke 8:17 piece of sandpaper to the lukewarm or barely breathing church to give life into dry bones by speaking God’s truth. Karen’s life is proof of the Lord’s great grace to a prodigal child who wandered away for 30 years. The calling on her life is met with an attitude of gratitude after humility, long-suffering, and obedience became ingrained. The more God reveals, the greater the tears of reverence for the Lord.
Never Let Your Past Freeze Your Future
Karen Reeves is now a far stronger warrior and daughter of the most High God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob than she was 30+ years ago. This testimony speaks to the calling on her life. It is not simplistic and the writing of such has taken much time. Satan attempted to end Karen’s life in a multitude of ways starting at the very young age of 2 through electrocution. Satan will not stop what God is about to do. Nothing can stop what’s coming.
Nothing will stifle her voice and the calling on her life, which reads like a whirlwind of trials and tribulations. Father God has continually intervened over the decades, allowing Satan to attack as he did Job. God is now unfolding His ministry before the eyes of others. When we die to self and decrease, the Lord increases. It is His strength in us that moves us forward one directed step at a time. The Lord’s timing is always the perfect time established by Him and we do well to learn to wait upon the Lord. The Word of God guides us on how to live in a balance of His ways. There are times and reasons that we must wait in the background for Him to move suddenly in His greater purpose for us. God unfolds His plan, kept hid till its appointed time, but we must learn to wait patiently, and remain humble and obedient. If He hasn’t made His calling clear, wait and trust Him as He is a just-in-time God. Do not try to get vainly ahead of His calling. Karen was called many, many years ago, and waits as the Lord brings His purpose into the light.
The Lord made the following clear:
- prophesy in 1993 that she would operate in all the gifts of God
- calling in 1996 to minister regarding the clock of protection of God (humility)
- directive given in 1997 to be a display of His awesome power
- calling to become ordained in 1998 and pastor a home church and at a hospital
- directive given in 1998 to be instrumental in waking the lukewarm church (click to video & go to the 18 min 47 sec mark)
- calling by an angel in 1998 at the Brownsville Revival to an end-time ministry that He is now unfolding
- 1999 Karen abandoned the idea of ‘chasing the calling’ when He gave her a word “It is not yet your time” & committed to wait, asking the Lord to make it clear that it was Him building this ministry (not her) when it was His time
- get to know the Father, whom Jesus came to unite us to, and learn as the Holy Ghost teaches
- do not operate in one’s own vain imaginations rather than in His anointing
Remember, if He has called you, thus, He’s with you and equipping you. However, the time of equipping can become years of trials and tribulation. For Karen, if she were a cat with nine lives, she would have exceeded her allowance. Karen knows now that patience is more than a virtue. It is an essential element required to walk with the Lord, as is humility, obedience and being responsible as well as protective of the calling. Patience exemplifies our deep trust of the Lord to equip and bring about what He specifically calls us to do. Stay grounded in Him, not vainly chasing what we think we should do. Patiently wait on the Lord to manifest His anointing, and respond to His nudge by the Holy Ghost to do this or that. Learn to listen for His still soft voice before taking action. If we press in ahead of God’s plan, we can easily err and miss the blessing and might rob others of a blessing. We must die to the impatient flesh so that God may increase through us.
In 2020, the Lord put it on Karen’s heart to begin writing this testimony of His saving grace and His interventions. God confirms He is with us, to encourage us to press into trusting His leading and letting others know the reason for our being. His glory comes only from Him. No man can manifest God’s power or presence. His Truth will set us free.

- horrifying evil dreams (13-23) which caused her to be frozen; had to “think” on Jesus name to call to break

- cut her wrists numerous times trying to die from fear of her mother as a teen

- lost virginity at 16 & became sexually drawn (it became an outlet from anxiety at home)
- hitched rides to get away but got sexually assaulted in creepy ways
- as an agnostic teen, she came to realize there had to be a God… just didn’t know how to connect to Him – her reasoning was, like in a game of billiards, nothing moves without something affecting it & initially, there has to be one making it all happen to start with – that was the rational for there had to be a God
- Age 17 – flipped Mom’s car but walked away – then ran away again & moved in with her Dad which was like living with a roommate & became the only girl to ride a motorcycle to her high school
- Age 19 – got a bartender job at a nude strip joint – was drugged & raped by mafia connected boss old enough to be her grandfather (woke up to his body guard watching); speaking out opened up the idea of concrete hitting the Hudson river attached to her leg so she said nothing, started dancing nude & was intro’d to a couple porno movies & drag queens – she was not gay but was being groomed
- Age 20 – decided to get away & moved from NY to AZ where she knew nobody but got involved with 1%er bikers (Dirty Dozen), danced at strip joints some, got into physical fights in biker bars (always won), learned her brother was gay & frequented his kind of bars with him because she was ‘safe’ there, almost started prostituting but decided to go hungry instead & finally called her Dad for financial help
- Age 21 to 22 – her biker boyfriend shot a guy in the commune where they lived while she was in Germany; she ended up on run from Hells Angels for ~4 months, but was young and very naïve, and did not realize the FBI were also searching for her boyfriend. The stress became overwhelming since she had been around the Hells Angels while dating a Quaff member in California. She knew if they found them, it would not be a good meeting with a good ending. She narrowly escaped from being held at gun point for bikers hunting him; so she broke off the relationship, and signed up with USAF as a way to hide from the Hells Angels. Then the victim of the shooting died. She went into USAF as scheduled and confessed what little she knew to the Office of Special Investigations (OSI is like a military version of the FBI). The OSI exonerated Karen of charges for aiding and abetting AFTER the fact; the USAF became her survival path
- Became an electronic warfare systems specialist but stayed involved with bikers, initially dating a VP of the Asgard M/C; got pregnant by an Asgard prospect; and then Arlen died in bad motorcycle accident when she was 13 weeks pregnant; she got married Oct 31st after a spirit said to marry a guy she barely knew (David) 2+ months later
- Age 23 – drove self to hospital while hemorrhaging & then had daughter 1 month early:
- When baby was 4 months, David nearly killed her by shaking & throwing Karen’s daughter to a couch (baby had a brain hemorrhage & seizures; then, while in hospital, a couple came to ask to pray for her & she felt God’s presence – she divorced David
- seizures pursued & daughter overdosed on medication at babysitters when 18 months old; it took 9 people trying to get an IV into her collapsed veins – child was in a coma for 12 hours
- Poltergeist/ paranormal spiritual activity began – musical mobiles played for long periods of time – a dog got into apartment through a locked sliding glass door (seemed to be laughing at her), kitchen cabinets opened/closed on their own, sitter refused to watch daughter in her home after hearing noises in baby’s room & encountering evil cold spirit in stairwell
- Age 25 – transferred to MS to become a teacher of electronics after involved in trying to stop a national breach of security in Germany; once in MS, started dating the enforcer of another 1%er in a Bandito’s chapter
- Age 26 – dated a non-1% biker & saved his life when he was stabbed at a bar, but at a different time…
- he left her for dead after punching her – spirit left body & watched body fall away – but she was sent back
- like other victims of abuse – she eventually took him back – it’s a hard cycle to break – though one of his biker friend’s got born again & started talking about Jesus, she didn’t make a God connection again yet
- got hit by a car making a left hand turn in front her 1946 Indian motorcycle – both went under back of car
- moved back to NY with boyfriend until he started getting violent again – he found her years later to make peace with her right before he died of cancer
- a close friend was murdered & then her body was mutilated – this affected Karen for years to come
- Age 27 to 36 –
- Moved to Georgia after her boss, who apparently was married but attracted to her, attempted to get her fired, but it backfired when God sent another to tell the truth to upper managers who’d been watching her boss’s actions – the stress put her in the hospital where she collapsed & her body swelled & it was thought she had leukemia (she was quarantined for 2 weeks) – after 1 week, she prayed for God to eliminated the pain & Karen woke up the next day to far less swelling but hospital kept her quarantined 1 more week
- married again but ended in divorce after 15 years trying, he demanded a divorce & after 2 separations, the 3rd became permanent via mutual agreements (after much forgiveness, & God healed the bitterness so they enjoy the marriage of their youngest daughter; today, there is kindness & chats without issues
- hospitalized again but only stress could be concluded after she broke out in massive boils – it subsided after a week with no other conclusions
- depressed, contemplated suicidal accident planned to use a car, but never acted it out due to daughters
- doctors office notified her of immediate need for MRI scan as they suspected cancer – prayer went up & nothing at all was found (please note that prayers were answered in a massive way PRIOR to Karen’s adult born again experience which is a testimony to the importance of her 6 year old commitment to serve Jesus)
- moved to Americus GA & got saved as an adult 4 months later at 36 on 26 April 1993 in her kitchen & had a miraculous born again encounter with God
Brownsville Revival & Other God Directions After Being Born Again
- 1993 got a miraculous answer to ‘what’s the right church’ while in biblical marriage counseling & was born again standing by the kitchen window the next morning
- Called to minister in 1996 & influenced greatly by the Brownsville Revival from 1996-1998; would drive others 5.5 hrs to FL from GA & pay all expenses just so others would go experience God’s outpouring
- Nov 1996, powerful encounter with God at the Brownsville Revival (church ceiling peeled back & Holy Spirit dropped Karen like a wet wash cloth, splat to the ground). God’s ‘more’ was revealed and she was stuck to the floor at the Brownsville Revival for 3 hours in a birthing position in travail, unable to get up after a miraculous vision. At the evening end (about 1 AM), husband had to enlist 3 large bodied church ushers to get her up off floor & into a wheel chair to get to a vehicle. At the hotel, she could only shuffle her feet with help from husband to get into the room
- Feb 1997 called to be a “display of God’s power”; spiritual miraculous events occurred even in her classroom at South GA Tech
- 1997, the youngest child requested being baptized at the revival at 6 years of age. Karen was re-baptized just after her daughter; however, they had to actually lift and carry Karen up out of the waters after the Spirit of the Lord came upon her; oldest daughter initially embraced it all, but pulled back after a while as did her youngest daughter
- March 29, 1998 – Lord woke Karen early that morning & told to raise hand when they called for testimonies that night & she’d be called on; she was 1 or 5 called up; video can be viewed at the 44 minute 55 second mark: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hBoUZZ3jHXA
- Karen was called to a specific ministry by an angel at the Brownsville Revival; it was a long acceptance prayer of God’s ministerial calling on her life. The angel appeared as one of the Brownsville church’s prayer team members in human form. It was later affirmed by the church’s prayer team that no such person existed. The woman who intensely lead Karen through a prayer of commitment to the calling she already thought she’d committed to, had to be an angel as Karen was later informed that no person of her description ever existed on their team
- Evangelist Steve Hill lifted his hand to pray for her & God moved her body instantly 20 ft through the air over bodies slain in the Spirit; Hill made his way over to her and asked “Are YOU alright?” … she was … deep in the glory of God
- June 1998 ordained; Karen preached in Belize, people cried & pastor requested she visit a local drug dealer with whom his church had often prayed for – God had prepared the dealer earlier to have a soften heart ready to hear & he gave his life to Christ (God knocked the dealer down in his fishing boat a few days earlier with a bright light)
- Went to many spirit lead churches seeking God’s direction/path until God told her through a prophet, “it is not yet your time” – after realizing it was an end-time ministry, she told God, “when it’s my time – YOU make it happen so others know it is nothing of me” – in 2019… He began to move mightily
- God erased her memory of the prayers prayed with the angel to prevent her getting ahead of Him. You cannot chase your version of what God has planned when you have no idea what He’s planned; rather than chase every church revival meeting looking for that next ‘word’ to come through man; you learn obedience & wait on God
- Told around 1999 to watch for when a ‘Pope Francis’ emerged, as then the end was far nearer
- Led a home church in Georgia for 3 years – cast out demons from people’s homes (pots/pans banging at night, shadows on walls, spirit going up/down stairs at night, drug addicts delivered, prayers came to pass exactly as prayed as the Spirit gave utterance, the smell of roses would suddenly be in a specific place in her classroom & all students recognized it, a student got baptized in the Holy Ghost when she’d pray on a phone call, a woman fell to the ground under the power when Karen entered a room & asked Karen to back up so she could get up, people were ‘slain in the spirit’ (as they say), rainbows were appearing in the most unusual places – like on a single cloud, etc
- Prayed with another for a man who was sent home to die with a lung disease – God healed DeWitt who became a dear friend & he lived another 7 years; he’d be breathing hard whenever she’d call and after 10 minutes, his breathing would settle so he could chat on for hours at a time – it was simply God’s presence and grace
- Ministered at a teen girls youth center in Tennessee – the baptism of Holy Spirit came upon girls
- Bitten by a snake – slammed it into a door & it’s teeth fell out of its mouth & were stuck in Karen’s arm – she gathered it up to take to the hospital (her work insisted) to be checked for an antidote – none was needed
After 2000 Came Growth from Jesus to Father by the Holy Spirit
- God sent her to NY to minister to her grandmother who had a God moment of salvation; she gave her grandmother her last communion; her grandmother died a week later – ironically, 19 years later, she led her Mother to salvation & learned of her childhood abusive past & Karen then understood why her childhood was not warm & lovie
- An Episcopalian bishop asked Karen to pastor the Americus Hospital Rehabilitation Ward 1999-2000; Karen resigned when the Lord told her to ‘pull the irons out of the fire’ so she relinquished the hospital pastoral role, closed the doors on the home church, resigned from a tenured teaching position, & moved to Atlanta where she worked & became involved in street recovery ministries
- Watched helplessly as a man died from a motorcycle accident head injury in Marietta GA; devastated seeing him in a pool of blood & couldn’t get to him soon enough to share about Jesus; God opened a door a week later to give peace as she learned the man had accepted the Lord the week prior
- Lost her job days prior to Sept 11th; was thankful she didn’t send daughter to visit brother in NY as they had planned to go to tour the towers that day
- Attended a Tres Dias even with her husband going first – for Karen – it was a miraculous renewing of her spirit
- Interviewed for 8 hours with Auburn University; confident of getting it but was told that though a perfect candidate, there were 3 perfect candidates to pick from. She dropped to the bathroom floor afterwards in tears asking God where He wanted her & an hour later, her Dad called and asked if her husband would work for him in NY
Moved from Georgia to New York
- Given Luke 8:17 as her scripture “For nothing is secret, that shall not be made manifest; neither any thing hid, that shall not be known and come abroad” & used in each position to stand for what’s right, be sandpaper at times, and to lead others to salvation – all priceless moments
- Methodist pastor gave up his church to Karen to conduct a funeral; yet he never met her; he instructed the funeral director to tell Karen that he believed she had the funeral covered & wasn’t needed. Only God arranges such. Many were encouraged and wanted to return if she was the regular pastor which confirmed relying on the Holy Spirit to give the words was always best (she had to ‘winged it’ having never conducted a funeral or graveside burial before)
- Her husband wanted a divorce; they had been separated twice before but came back together after God intervened, however, the time for the union man put together was over; they parted painfully but peacefully – after 10 years God restored relationship with ex-husband & reconciled them as friends as well as kindled a friendship with his current wife & they all worked agreeably for their daughter’s wedding & have gathered to celebrate birthdays and live life in peace
- God opened door to work in a global firm saying it would be the last job she ever “needed”. Currently still working for them, but it’s up to the Lord for how long
- Stopped at a vehicle fire on a major interstate; 2 men appeared severely injured; pulled blankets out of car to cover them. It took 3 men & her to move them away from the burning truck on those blankets. As the 3 men controlled traffic, she stayed and spoke life to the 2 injured; hospital visits revealed both only recalled one thing, being told that God loved them & they would be alright
Moved from New York to Texas
- In 2013, the year of Pope Francis being established, the Lord moved her to Texas to eventually purchase 31 acres of raw land; God showed her exactly where to have a well dug to get perfect water – the well driller probably thought she was crazy but he complied, drilled where she pointed to & hit a huge underground lake with wonderful water
- Karen’s Dad died in November 2017 – she had witnessed to him many times, but he passed alone at a hospital
- After living in an RV for 5 years, she began to have a home built but the builder was cheating her & quit, then another builder took but double billed her, & she had to walk out much forgiveness for the great financial losses
- Went back to Pensacola (2019) to visit ill ‘sister-in-law’ – she died Palm Sunday morning & Karen returned to the Brownsville AG church afterwards & experienced the Lord’s mighty presence again though congregation was a shell of what it once was. God revealed He beginning to bring HIS end time ministry calling on her life to pass
- God said “claim the property next door” in the summer of 2019, so she did. In Sept 2019, she attended a “Women of Revival” retreat at the former home of Steve Hill, the evangelist from the Brownsville Revival. Two weeks after the retreat, her neighbor unexpectedly offered property to her. About a week later, contract was in place to expand 31 acres to 47 acres; they closed the deal without a 4 sale sign ever being posted to the property
- God gave Karen 5 double rainbows over the property (2 in 2015, 1 in 2016 & 2 in 2023) which she believes is a sign of His grace in her life; she now manages gourmet cattle, chickens, turkey, cats, dogs, donkey & horses (over 90 animals) on 47 acres with the occasional help of a neighbor & those the Lord sends
- The home on the new property became a point of ministry and God gave it a name: Our Father’s Glory House. After many Ladies Retreats and gatherings, His presence can be overwhelming; its broken chains of darkness, seen lives rededicated, holy laughter break out and a unique heaviness of the anointing has graced the house; where life is outside the box of religion
- Led her mother to the Lord (Oct 2019) & baptized her mom (June 2020); led her through prayers denouncing idols and forgiving all to include her mother’s mother who beat her mom as a child, which explains much. Prayers of deliverance from generational curses have been answered
- In 2021, God broke something off Karen that was still lingering & she spent 2 hours praying in new tongues (over 30 varying languages came forth) for the first time though ~ 7 had previously manifested – God’s tongues of fire
- Karen carried for her mom who suffered with dementia. It was exceptionally difficult caring for the woman whose hand use to imprint her face regularly. She went from a very controlling force to be reckoned with to a frail old woman of little control. Karen went through a new kind of brokenness as the past (she thought she’d forgiven) haunted her while being the caregiver; to top it off, several betrayals occurred during that time, but it was just God removing any who didn’t need to be in her life. His grace is sufficient as His strength is made perfect in her weaknesses. She kept her mom in her home until her mom no longer knew her & she could no longer manage the level of care Mom needed. Mom is in a good facility & getting the kind of care she needs & Karen visits her though Mom doesn’t know who Karen is any longer
- Jan 10th 2023, Karen’s oldest daughter was in a very serious motorcycle/car accident as a woman made a left hand turn on red light; so Karen spent 3 weeks in SC as her daughter went through 2 leg surgeries (femur & tibia) & transferred to a rehab (her daughter’s dad died as a result of a woman making a left hand turn on a red light – which is what happened here)
- April 21st 2023, Karen’s youngest daughter was in a very serious car accident as a woman ran a red light & swerved last second from hitting her daughter’s car in the driver door to hit her car with such force as to completely demolish both the driver & passenger side of the rear of the car & Karen knew it was much closer to the ministry coming forth as she remembered the prophetic word from the Lord that when she is 30 years from when she gave her life (Apr 26th) as an adult (1993), this ministry would be made known – His power in prayer has strongly, steadily been increasing since April 26th (when everything seems to get worst, there is a great blessing around the corner)
Current Status
- After 3 yrs of finally living in the new home, a leak in a shower pipe caused the house to have 4 rooms need to be gutted; this is when Karen moved her mother to a nursing facility & herself into ministry house. When extent of the water flow in house was finally determined, within a week, car door broke, pool pump broke, house AC broke, and she had to begin moving everything out. She thanked God, for there was a blessing coming! He revealed His washing the foundation to cause a need for restoration, was symbolic of the washing of all the stains of those who stole from Karen, used her, or touched His home with wrong intents
- A prophetic word confirmed God washed the foundation of not only the house, but Karen’s life. God later revealed it has been 7 years since July 2015 when she suffered the crushing of my right arm and now, she is passing into her 8th year for a jubilee … a time of restoration and of new beginnings that this ministry – His ministry – will come forth through. In short, the ultimate culmination of God’s plan for Karen’s life and the many He will touch and change through the ministry He is establishing
- Other prophetic words came & she has traveled to various places by the hand of God leading & He has introduced her to many who speak of traveling in spirit & much more
- God’s glory has come on property which has a history of much prayer over it because the land was dedicated to the Lord over several generations prior
- God gave her understanding about the timing of the return of Jesus; it is NOT occurring for at least several years
- God said go to Miami & Vegas to the Reawaken America events to pray for people – in Miami, His power was evident in prayers & the idea of sharing of this testimony was birth, then she was attacked by a demon & spent 3 hrs in travail
All in all – God’s great hand of mercy and grace has taught Karen to wait on Him, trust Him, and let Him have every upset, every annoyance, every pain both deep and small. The Lord has taught her how to forgive and move forward, how to become far more patient as she waits for His timing to manifest His will and purpose in all aspects of her life. She has learned to ride the tide of God’s sudden timing of change and challenges.
What the Lord has done for Karen (protecting her and bringing her through every attack of the adversary), He will do for you. Simply verbalize and ask Him sincerely to forgive you of any wrong you’ve ever done, accept what Father God has done in sending His only begotten Son to take up your sin (Romans 10:8-10), believe it in your heart as you speak it from your mouth and be saved.
Reach out if you need prayer or have questions in what Christ calls us to do. She doesn’t have all the answers, but she knows the one who does. Remember, we must decrease (humble ourselves before God to learn obedience to His will and His ways) so that HE – GOD – Father/Son/Holy Ghost may increase through us. Know that when we appear powerful to others – it is simply the power of God moving through us – and we should all want to be led of the One who is the Beginning and the End, who created all things. Amen
Since the world attaches a negative to the name of Karen, it’s interesting to note: Karen is a Hebrew oriented name, appearing in the book of Job as his youngest daughter, Keren-happuch. The Lord gave her name to Job and she was born after great tribulation. The name is also referenced in the Greek as katharos, meaning “pure” or in French, means “clear”. It is associated to an independent woman who holds to truth and righteousness, often sacrifices herself to help others, has a heart of gold, and is balanced / fair minded. Thus, a Truth seeker after God’s own heart, wholly submitted.
Karens appear in the canon as women chosen by YHWH to serve as prophetic messengers of God’s purpose and will, speaking His truth. To be prophetic is to be a witness who testify and prophetically speak Truth through anointed words of wisdom and knowledge given by the Spirit of the Lord. How encouraging it is to know the spiritual connection to the name given by YHWH. It is the LORD who chose a modern day Karen to establish this specific end-times ministry; a woman also born after great tribulation just like Job’s daughter. Praise be to the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob His for His loving kindness, mercy and grace.
