in ministry in my church...I love your site...your site makes
sense.....and appears one of the most significant contributions to
Christian literature I have encountered and I am reasonably well

Email from Yolande in S. Africa 7/09: "...I have been reading some
deep and exciting books by people having heavenly encounters and was
crying out in my heart for foundational teaching, for I wanted this so
much and wanted it practical. During a long fast, I came across your
website. I have purchased your books (can recommend to every hungry
soul) and have shared with others who are purely delighted at the light
you bring. You are a exceptional good teacher, a pure gift from heaven,
practical, grounded in the Word, spiritual and sincere, and you lay a
foundation so we as the church can get more out of the literature of
pioneers and ground breakers...who wets our appetites for the deepest
places in God."

Experience

God's Presence

by Repentance with Joy!

Receive and "abide" in the presence of God by understanding with your
mind, AND by teaching your heart to think differently about earthly
things and about your being able to freely receive the presence of God
by believing He is drawing near, because of His grace!

You Can Grow Even in Difficult Areas

because You Can Taste Heaven Now!

Of Definitions and a Deeper Christian Life

This site shows HOW TO repent by training your heart to joyfully trade
earthly dependencies for receiving God's presence intensely by His
grace. The principles you find here are effective for idolatry of the
heart and unwanted behaviors! It is intended as a practical way for you
to experience the deeper Christian life.

Repentance is more than just what you do after you do something wrong.
Repentance is a biblical practicean activity that describes something
you can do for great personal growth and change.

In biblical terms, repentance means to change your mind about sin and
about God. More simply stated "repentance with joy" means to change how
you think and to feel joy because of it. The word repentance is used
most of the time where we are to change our mind after sin. But in my
search I saw this verse: "...If you return to the Lord with all your
heart, remove the foreign gods...from among you and direct your hearts
to the Lord...He will deliver you..." (1 Sam. 7:3). To me, "directing
our heart toward God," sounds like a repentance where we "change our
mind" about sin and about God, BEFORE we do something wrong.

So on this website and in my books, I use the word "repentance" in a
broad sense rather than the strict definition. I do that because
repentance is the word that most accurately describes what you get when
you try to fit everything together that the Bible says about growth
toward God. It is in that sense that I am saying we should repent.

The way I see it, we are to repent so as to remove the obstacles that
keep us from abiding in Christ. Doing this, involves getting our heart
to hear the truth of the scriptures so that God can use His word to
change us from the inside out. Much with us has to change but thinking
about repentance this way makes actually doing it realistic.

Deep level change isn't going to happen just because you know something
in your head. Being effective at "changing your mind" requires taking
steps to train your heart that it is right, good, and safe to turn and
draw near to God. You have to take steps to calm your fears and build
your faith. You have to become a teacher and your own heart has to
become your student. By this, you can change from the inside out.

Mostly, this site is for Christians who want to experience God's
presence more fully and intensely. It is for Christians who want to
"abide in Christ" in a deeper way. But it is not just for Christians
because the information here is practical for those who want freedom
from unwanted behaviors. These principles are effective and work well.

Repentance should be as important a practice to your Christian life as
prayer or reading the Bible. It can help you just as much.

The Benefits of Repentance

The benefits of repentance are many. The Bible says, "...repent and
return, so that your sins may be wiped away, in order that times of
refreshing may come from the presence of the Lord" (Acts 3:19).

The benefits of repentance are that you find freedom from unwanted and
sinful behaviors, damaging pursuits, harmful reactions, long term
addictions, co-dependence. You even find freedom from subtle sins of
the heart. But that isn't all.

You also experience a "refreshing" from the "presence of the Lord." By
repenting so as to experience God's presence, your single-hearted love
and devotion toward God will increase greatly. Abiding in Christ
becomes realistic. The deeper Christian life becomes practical. This
site shows you how.

Abiding in Christ

When I talk about repentance it is always a repentance that is toward
abiding in Christ. By "abiding" I believe the Bible means we are to
stay inside the presence of God. Christians have Christ inside them but
we are also told to "abide in Him." I think this means we are to stay
inside the radiant presence of Christ -- 24 hours-a-day. By this we
"...walk in the Light as He Himself is in the Light..." (1John 1:7).

To me, abiding in the presence of God is the same thing as abiding in
the presence of the kingdom of God.

We abide in Christ by repentance that removes obstacles so we can draw
near to God, learn to stay there, and learn to let Him draw near and
stay near to us. Understanding your thirsty desires for God and how to
repent makes abiding in Christ realistic for anyone. Everything that I
write is toward this end.

Drinking From God

On this website and in the ebooks I use the words "drinking from God"
to also mean "feeding" on Him. To me drinking from God is the same
thing as receiving His presence or letting God draw near to us.

Learning to drink from God is important because without learning to
actually receive His presence we can't abide in Christ. It is by
learning to keep on drinking like a branch on a tree that we abide
inside the presence of God all the time. Doing this is realistic for
you.

On this website and in the ebooks I explain how we drink from earthly
things and how you can reapply those same principles to God. I explain
these things in practical ways so that you can do them.

Why You Can Change

We keep doing what we don't want to do because of the "benefits" we
gain from the behavior. Even though the behavior may hurt us greatly,
it reassures us, makes us feel strong, or secure in some way.

Repentance lets you trade earthly dependencies for God's presence! The
reason you can change is because of God's abundant grace to draw near
to you!

When God's presence pours through you, your longings are filled more
deeply and more pleasurably than anything this life has to offer.

Do you have a behavior you want to change? Repenting by turning to God
as what reassures you and soothes you when you hurt. Doing so can help
you grow even in areas that have been difficult for you to change!

Are you a Christian who doesn't have any major or obvious sins? This
site can help you experience God's presence more fully. It will help
you understand and repent of the hidden idolatry of your heart. It is
just that the benefits of deep level repentance are so great, that it
corrects more obvious sins too.

The Whole Thing in Three Sentences

The repentance that I will help you with is the path to the deeper
Christian life. It is a repentance that changes your behavior because
it changes how you think in your heart.

I will be teaching you how to joyously repent from seeking to receive
earthly glory for yourself to a place of seeking and receiving the
presence of God. I will be teach you practical ways of how you can
actually receive the kingdom of God and abide in Christ here.

Everything that I write about is "to the end that we...would be to the
praise of His glory" (Eph 1:12). Doing that means that we first have to
repent from living to the praise of OUR glory.

Why You Need this Information

You need the information on this site because it isn't obvious how to
direct your heart away from earthly sources and toward Godour fears,
hurts, and disbelief are too great.

Most Christians today are not even conscious of when they are working
to fill their longing for God apart from Him. If you were aware, it is
also likely that you would try to repent in ways that would be
ineffective and damaging. I will show how you can be effective at
removing the obstacles preventing you from turning and drawing near to
God.

It is time for radical change! You need instruction and you need the
Heart-training the areas in your heart that need to be addressed are
deep and well hidden. This site will show you how to turn to God in
ways that are more complete than what you may have ever thought was
even possible. You can enjoy a deeper Christian life!

Not Everything is Free

I give a lot of instruction here but I don't give away the material
that I call Heart-training. You will have to buy that.

Are you in a country where online purchases are difficult or
impossible? Then email me and I can give you the Heart-training for
free. For the rest of you please support this ministry by purchasing
the materials.

Regardless of how you get the Heart-training please don't dismiss the
importance of the Heart-training in your pilgrimage with God.

Why You Can Repent With Joy!

Jesus endured the cross for the joy set before Him (Heb. 12:2). We
should follow His example.

Repent with joy because of God's grace to draw near to you without His
holding back! Rejoice your heart to believing that when you draw near
to God, He will draw near to you (James 4:8)!

More is realistic and possible! The practical reasons you can repent
and turn more fully to God are because of His grace. The earthly
substitutions we make for God are always close to us. You can repent
because God wants to be God to you. He wants to be close to you,
intensely!

The Bible tells us, "And without faith it is impossible to please Him
for he who comes to God must believe that He is and that He is a
rewarder of those who seek Him" (Heb. 11:6). The faith that pleases God
believes that when you come near to God, He rewards you with His
presence by also drawing near to you!

Earthly substitutions for God's presence are totally unnecessary. You
just need to learn how to work with your heart until you find freedom
to act because of greater faith trust toward God.

By applying the principles and using the tools given here, you can
experience God's presence flowing around and through you 24
hours-a-day!

Don't be alarmed by the amount of material you find on this site. Large
portions of 3 eBooks are on these pages. If you get frustrated by not
remembering what you have read and what you haven't, you may find it
easier to go to the books and materials page and down load this
information in book form.

It will take effort on your part to direct your heart toward God, but
you can do it! I will show you how.

You Can experience a deeper Christian life!

Heads up: There's an ongoing spamdexing of Google searchbot algorithms. Sites that are 'copies of copies' and cloaked sites which include Zorgium keywords presented to search engine crawlers yet garbage content presented to human visitors were hosted on thousands of IP addresses and domains registered immediately after the introduction of Zorgium in November of 2009. The Hostgator/'The Planet'/Softlayer datacenters in Texas seem to be the epicenter of this activity in conjunction with anonymously registered domains of various TLD's but primarily .info domains at Godaddy which, in our opinion, has some sort of connection to the domains of goldmint.in and goldmint.org. Google has begun to notice this and has begun to lower the ranking of these sites and put our original sites back on top of the search rankings. These actions, as far as we can tell, negatively impact the use of the keyword 'zorgium' as a search term and provided little benefit, if any, to the perpetrators.
