<TITLE>15. Par 37-38</TITLE>L-37 And later, we find out she went to glean in the field. And when she did, she gleaned in Boaz's field, which was a near kinsman. And when he seen her it was love at the first sight. And he found out who she was and wanted to marry her. In order to do it, he had redeem Ruth, or Naomi, rather. And in doing so he must first be a kinsman. Now, notice, what a beautiful picture here of the ensign, while we dwell on it a moment.
Ruth in the field, poor, type of the Church. We come in by the Jewish church, through a Jew, born under the law. Christ died. I used to think it was Jewish blood. I had to correct that. He was neither Jew nor Gentile blood. He was the Blood of God. His mother was a Jew; His Father was God Himself. The Blood comes from the male sex. It was the a creative Blood, not sexual at all. It was the Blood of God. He was neither Jew nor Gentile, but God manifested in flesh. Then when He was here on earth, look at Him as He walked.
Now, back to Ruth, just a moment, and look at it. When Boaz seen her, he fell in love with her. And he commanded her not to leave that field but to stay right there and glean fastly. That's what God does to every believer that once comes to Christ. Stay with Him. Don't be carried about with every wind of doctrine; stay right with Christ.

L-38 And he said, "I'll command the young man." He said, "Now, as you go along, the reapers, the Angels," he said, "every once in a while, let her glean wherever she wants to, and then drop a little handful on purpose. I kind of like those little handfuls, don't you, just a little good old fashion Holy Ghost revival now and then, you know, get a handful?
She had picked up the handfuls, and she thrashed them out, happy, taking them back. And that night, she went down to when he was winnowing wheat that night at the garner, at the barn. Boaz laid down. And when he laid down, Ruth (notice this.), not ashamed to dispose herself to this man, as the real true borned again church tonight is not ashamed to dispose herself to the Holy Ghost call of God. Went right down into the barn with this man, giving him trust. Every man that comes to Christ must forsake everything on both sides and put his full faith in the Lord Jesus Christ. No matter what your mother says, what your daddy says, what this says, or mama says, or what anybody says; trust Christ. Don't be afraid.
She walked in. And when he found out she give that trust, he throwed his robe over her. You won't have to tell you what that means: the Holy Ghost, of course, to cover with his own robe. And he said, "Now, you go on. When daylight comes, I've got to do the work of a kinsman before I can receive you."
