Lord, we know our brother Art is in Your hands right now. We don't understand why You have allowed this to happen and if You choose to take Him home, why You would do so at this time. Our brother Art has been a voice in the wilderness Lord - - and if You choose to take him home, Your people would surely suffer a great loss. We don't understand Lord - - nevertheless, let Your will be done in this situation. We trust that You are sovereign and in control. Strengthen and comfort the Katz family and all who are close to Your servant Art! If You take Him home Lord, we will feel a great loss.
If it is indeed the time You have chosen for our brother to leave this earth and go home to be with You - - we know Your Word says that "except a corn of wheat fall into the ground and die, it abides alone: but if it dies, it will bring forth much fruit." (John 12:24) ACCORDING TO YOUR WORD LORD, IF IT IS INDEED THE TIME FOR THIS SEED TO BE PLANTED, WE ASK YOU TO USE THIS PLANTING OF THE SEED TO RAISE UP 1,000 PROPHETIC VOICES IN THE BODY OF CHRIST WITH THE SAME NON-COMPROMISING FIERY SPIRIT AS OUR BROTHER ART. RAISE UP VOICES IN THE WILDERNESS WITH THE SPIRIT OF ELIJAH BURNING IN THEIR HEARTS WHO WILL DECLARE YOUR WORD WITHOUT COMPROMISE. We ask this for Your people Lord - - who are in desperate need right now to hear clear voices sent by You. Faithful Father - - we ask You to do this in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ - - Amen.
