<TITLE>13. Par 45-47</TITLE>L-45 He went over there to her, and he said, "Now look, don't you leave this field." I love that. Wish we had time to park there for a few minutes. "Don't you leave this field." That's the way it is. Stay put. Hallelujah. Oh, I know you think I'm just a little wild, but I did...
Look, stay where you are. Every man that's borned of the Spirit of God when he's set in Christ, his eyes is on Calvary, right in the middle of the road. If he's just a little bit emotional, the first thing you know, he'll work out over here to a side; and the first thing, he'll become a fanatic, if he don't watch. And if he's just a little starchy, educated, he'll work over on this side and be so cold, and stiff, and starchy, take all the Spirit out of him. If the devil can't keep you from seeing the truth, he'll push you off of the deep end with it.
Now, I think that's exactly what happened to the Pentecostal church. Now, that's right, exact: went off at the deep end. Stay put. I--you might not love me after this, but at the judgment bar you will.

L-46 Look, oh, don't run away; stay in Christ. Don't go after gifts and everything, stay with the Giver. God will take care of the gifts. Stay there. Yes, stay in the field.
Said, "Pick up the few of these gleaning behind." And said, "Don't you leave this field. Stay right here." Now, you can draw in conclusions what I'm--was fixing to say there.
"And so, stay here now, un--until night, till the sun's gone." And when Christ baptizes you with the Holy Spirit, stay put right in Christ. That first love is in your heart. Never let it get cold. Just keep loving Him. Move on.
Notice then he said, "Now, I've commanded that these young men don't bother you." Oh, what a spiritual background that's got.
You know, some of these snicklefritzes, little old half-brothered churches, you know, "Hey, you holy-roller..."
"I've commanded them to leave you alone." Amen. It's my heritage. He had in his mind what he was going to do. Said, "I've commanded them to leave you alone. But you follow fast behind the reapers." And said, "When it comes the midday, and you get tired, come over and set down under the tree, and take the morsel of bread, and dip right in with the rest of them." I like that; that's fellowship. You see? Get right around under the shade tree. Don't you love to get under there? Just dip right in with the rest of them. Amen.

L-47 Then he said to the reapers, he said, "You see that young lady that's right behind you?"
"Yes."
Said, "Let the gleaning be heavy." And said, "Every once in while, drop a handful on purpose." I love those handfuls, don't you? Amen. Gleaning behind the reapers... "Drop a handful on purpose, that she could get it." Oh, how Ruth felt when she grabbed a whole handful. The reaper turned around, said, "It's all right. It's all right." Oh, when God gives us an old fashion pouring out of the Holy Spirit, a handful... "Do it on purpose."
And notice, then when after the day was over, she beat out all of her wheat, and put it in her little apron, and took it to her mother-in-law; and her mother-in-law advised her. If you want to find out advice of how to do, Paul said, after giving, in the Hebrews 10, the great chapter of faith; he said, "Now, seeing that we're compassed about with such a great cloud of witnesses, let us lay aside every sin and run with race, this patience that's set before us... Lay aside every weight, and the sin, rather, that so easily beset us, and run with patience."
