 Art Katz Quote

Here is a wonderful quote by Art Katz. This is why listening to him preach or reading his books is like a refreshing wind of the Spirit. This quote is from his book "Apostolic Foundations."

Quote:

A preacher who thus intentionally voids himself in trust for a word of God to be given experiences a suffering in measure akin to that of the crucified Christ. He is dying to his own ability to speak, and becomes foolish in a humiliation like the Savior's unto death. This is the heart of all true speaking. The man speaking sees to it that his own ability will not be his dependency. He is the humble recipient of something that is to be given. There is a suffering, a humiliation and a death in the speaking that releases the same quality of power that took place at the Cross, and will again, in every reenactment of that event. God does not want the faith of men to be established on eloquence, but on the basis of the power of God, which is released through the one who is willing to suffer the terrible humiliation.

The preaching that is power comes when a man abandons himself, and will not lean on his own expertise or ability. Pulling out that plug is death. It is something one can never get used to, but is to be tasted again and again. It is as terrifying, contradictory, and mortifying as if you had never done it before. Every occasion is a fresh experience in death, an only one who is dead to himself will bear it. Who is there that is willing to taste that death? Who is willing to abandon his trusted ability and confidence, and trust that the same power that raised Jesus from the dead will now raise the speaker and his message?

CONTINUE TO PRAY FOR ART, THIS IS THE LATEST UPDATE ON HIS HEALTH FROM HIS WEB SITE:

Jan. 1st, 2007


Art was released from the hospital yesterday (Dec. 31). His condition seemed to have improved significantly this morning. His shortness of breathe has improved remarkable; his breathing is close to normal.

Thank you so much for standing in prayer with our brother.

 Re: Art Katz Quote

Thanks for posting this jewel or I guess nugget in the case of a gold miner. I really needed this. I will be speaking Sunday night. God has much work left to do in me, and he has used many of you at this wonderful site.

Are there any Art Katz sermons anyone recommends?


God Bless

TJ

 Re: Art Katz Quote

Dear TJ,
I am pleased you were blessed by Art's quote. An excellent message was mentioned earlier in this forum entitled " Be ye Perfect". It is wonderful. But I have to say I haven't found anything that wasn't a blessing coming from him. The SI archives have a number of his sermons and also you can get tapes from his web site, which is what I have been doing. The web address is:

www.benisrael.org

God bless and anoint you to speak His word that has been implanted by the Spirit into your heart.

 Re: Art Katz

If you haven't yet, here is another;

[url=https://www.sermonindex.net/modules/mydownloads/visit.php?lid=3278]And They Crucified Him[/url]

[b]Description[/b]: Empty entertainment/worship sung by pretty people -Doctrinally-correct sermons devoid of power -Sunday-only Christian lives barely distiguishable from the world All these and many more ills are symptoms of a disease Art clearly identifies in this message. It's such a fundamental thing, our understanding of the cross. It's an indictment of our lives and the current impetence of the church. In the final analysis, unless we know ‘Christ and Him crucified,’ our knowledge of God will be false.

A related thread as well;

As already stated, they're all good although I have listened to a couple that I didn't get that much out of. I think that was because it was just "over my head" or perhaps I should say "over my spirit." Hopefully I will grow into them! ;-)
Here are some of my favorites in addition to what has already been mentioned. Or you could just pick one from the download section. You can't go wrong.
Widows and slaves indeed
Costly Submission
All That is in the World
What if?

Here is something else to ponder that he says in one of his sermons, sorry I can't remember which one.
"A partial obedience is a disobedience and a partial truth is a lie."
Nearly brought me to my knees.

Blessings,
Hope

Keep that up Hope and you will have the saints confessing all kinds of things around here. ;-)

What a wonderful and frank admission, one that I have certainly found holds true, one that finds a holding of many things in abeyance, inconclusive as well as things that are just beyond me. With that type of honesty I believe we will indeed grow into many, many things.

[i]Take my yoke upon you, and [b]learn of me[/b]; for I am meek and lowly in heart: and ye shall find rest unto your souls. [/i] Mat 11:29
