psalm 119:11 Thy word have I hid in mine heart, that I might not sin against thee.
I cannot understate the importance of bible memorization. God commands us to do it; Deut 11:18/Psalms 119:16.
I gave a message on this and I will post it soon. God promises that deeper and more knowledgeable you get in His
Word that he will send people to you that he needs to hear it. It has happened to me too many times to count. Trust
me on this one; next to bible reading, bible memorization is next. Here is a good one to start with. (If Pastor wanted to
include the version from the Book he uses that would be great. I need to get one soon me thinks!)
Here is how I do it; I use these cards because they are easy to carry around and more durable than a sheet of paper. You can
use whatever you want though.
day 1: First write out the verse in its entirety. My preacher wanted you to write it down ten times
but I say once is good and read it ten or twenty times throughout the day.
day 2; write it again like this and carry it with you reading it several times throughout the day.
day 3; write it again omitting even more letters. Read it several times throughout the day.
day 4; take your first sheet and write 1Pet 2:9 on the opposite side. By now you should be
able to quote the verse from memory. I am dumber than a box of rocks and this is how
at one time I had over five hundred bible verses memorized.
If you have a different way please show it! You never know when your access to God's
Word is impossible, or illegal. All you will have is what you memorized.
