One of the most amazing and fastest revelations I have ever received from the Holy Spirit came from this succinct little scripture:
I had read this proverb many times and I like it a lot. I like it a lot because it not only sounds very poetic, but it also paints a beautiful picture. I imagine a big wooden table covered with a red satin sheet, having all kinds of gleaming silver cutlery and glorious food. And in the middle of the spread you have golden apples piled up on a silver plate. Rather Christmassy.
Of course, I like it because it is a wise saying too—say the right thing at the right time and your hearer is most blessed. How true when talking to a discouraged soul.
One morning, after praying in tongues for a while, the Holy Spirit showed me something new about this scripture. It was “downloaded” into my spirit in a flash the moment I read it. Praying in the Spirit first really does open up the Scriptures to you!
I saw in a flash this truth:
If you want to have divine fruit in your life (“apples of gold”), speak the rhema word of Christ (“word fitly spoken”), resting on the foundation of Christ’s redemption (“settings of silver”).
We know that gold in the Bible speaks of divinity and silver, the redemptive work of Christ. A word fitly or aptly spoken is not just any scripture you pick off the Bible at random, but the scripture the Holy Spirit or the Spirit of Christ speaks to you for your situation. Also, our foundation has to be the finished work of Christ—He alone has done it all for us to be blessed.
So to bear fruit that is of God or to have divine results, speak the word that the Holy Spirit has quickened in your spirit, and rest in the finished work of Christ!
Proverbs 25:11
A word fitly spoken is like apples of gold in settings of silver.
