Which app is it?
ScriptureTyper
The memory app that Dr Whitney was referring to is, "Fighter Verses".
Fighter Verses is an excellent app. They have a large assortment of verses already set up in a calendar as well as a few collections of large passages of Scripture (including all of Philippians and James, each scheduled to learn over a year) or you can add in your own verses and go at your own pace. There are multiple ways of reviewing and quizzing the verses in the app, as well as some songs to help. It's from the church John Piper pastored in Minnesota.
"Yep" to the earlier comments. Start digging around on internet searches like "best scripture memory app" and the two mentioned below, Scripture Typer and Fighter Verses seem to consistently be at the top of any list. Either are great. For me, I think the key to these things is a "just do it (already)" mentality. Some of us are prone to spend so much time looking for the best system, the right verses, and the perfect approach that a "paralysis of analysis" takes affect and you don't get out of the starting gate.
Check out Verses!! It’s a green and blue icon.
I've found that meditating on the word of God gets it into your spirit and then when sharing/talking about God/His word it comes up out of your spirit - the Holy Spirit in you bringing back to your remembrance all things the word of God says/teaches us. Just another way. Blessings ☺️
I spent the laat 1,5 year reading the Bible from beginning to end for the first time in my life and I LOVE IT. Now I start to study it in depth and memorize as much as possible. This comes at the right time! :)
@Surrendered This is WONDERFUL! I still haven't read all the books yet from cover to cover, but I have started! 😊
This is my second year in a row reading right through . I need to refresh my scripture memory and learn new! Keep in the Word!
The best way to memorize scripture is to do what it says.
Good one
Best quote about memorizing verses
Amen 🙏

Ok cool
Matthew 5:29 - 30
If your right eye causes you to sin, tear it out and throw it away. For it is better that you lose one of your members than that your whole body be thrown into hell. And if your right hand causes you to sin, cut it off and throw it away. For it is better that you lose one of your members than that your whole body go into hell.
Now walk it out…
This video is for those of us trying our best to apply the word to our hearts who don’t have many people to help us interpret scripture etc
Please super spiritual people who do nothing wrong and have all the answers STOP it with the judgement answers and stay off the comments
This is for US who may have just come to CHRIST and we don’t need your discouraging replies
The best thing to memorize is to write down on paper. The visual memory is MORE POWERFULL the thinking of it.
I agree ..
Yep. Plus.. you take more time when you do it. You're engaging with the verse. You have to keep looking back at the Bible when you're writing it down on paper.
At one time, I had memorized Ephesians 1, Romans 1, 8, and 12, 1 Corinthians 13, the Book of 1 John, the Book of James, the books for 1 & 2 Thessalonians and Titus. However, reciting all of those on a daily basis became overwhelming and I eventually quit doing it as I was working al lot and didn't have time. After some time, eventually you can no longer recite verbatim. However, after memorizing them many times over the years (3 or 4 times each), I can now take a day and recommit any one of those chapters to memory where I can quote it verbatim again. I have memorized Ephesians 1, Romans 8 and 1 Corinthians so many times over the years, that just reading it once restores total recall. And yes, it is well worth the effort--the first time through any chapter is the hardest.
I’m 42 years old and I have started to memorize scriptures which I find it fascinating. Psalm 145 was the first to memorize and took me 21 days. After that time , I felt frustrated due to the amount of time spent in a Psalm of 21 verses. But I ve been doing for 6 months now and I have noticed that now I can memorize Psalm up to 23 verses in just 2 days. The key ? !!!! You must have fall in love with the passage and it will flow. I memorized in just 2 days Psalm 50 in nasb version in just 2 days. My goal is to memorize the book of John and Hebrews
On my channel I recite the verses that I have learned. I wonder how you're doing with John and Hebrews. You'll have to leave me a comment on the channel to get a chance. I totally agree that you have to fall in love with the scripture. I love how you put that. The Lord bless you and keep you

It is amazing how well children can memorize Scripture as well. I think it's so important to get our kids to memorize Scripture when they are young.
As a child, I memorized hundreds of verses just from the Sunday School lessons alone.

For the Muslims on here trying to brag about memorizing the Quran and putting down Christians for not memorizing their bible, You have to understand the Bible has almost 800,000 words and Quran has only about 78,000 words. Even if a Christian decides to memorize only the New Testament books(books about Jesus) that would be 185,000 words which is like memorizing two and a half Qurans so honestly it’s not a good comparison to brag about. Plenty of Christians memorize portions of scripture that means something to each person and that is good enough.
Our Allah has made it easy to read, understand and remember(54:17). we can't do anything if your god has made Bible tough to memorize.
@@jmohammednizamuddin9327 Yeah, easy to read... if you can read arabic! If you don't read arabic, you're lost. 'cause in the Quran it says you can hit your wife if she doesn't obey you. But when you tell that to a muslim who knows arabic, they say it's a bad translation.
Well, you guys either have a God who only has a book for arabics 'cause the other translations are not reliable
OR you have a god who says it's okay to hit your wife.
@@tabestorm5339 yeah right. You can’t hit your wife. You can kill your son if he speak back to you in your bible though.
Do you like memorizing nonsense
@@user-oo6vr1ky5f dosent that explain how dangerous religion is mans worst invention
I know its not the same for everyone, but I used to set out to memorize Scipture and got frustrated. Now I just read it daily and I find myself being able to quote even obscure verses I didn't know I'd memorized.
Joshua 1:8 (NIV)
“Keep this Book of the Law always on your lips; meditate on it day and night, so that you may be careful to do everything written in it. Then you will be prosperous and successful.”
Psalm 119:11 (NIV)
“I have hidden your word in my heart that I might not sin against you.”
Proverbs 3:1-2 (NIV)
“My son, do not forget my teaching, but keep my commands in your heart, for they will prolong your life many years and bring you peace and prosperity.”
Colossians 3:16 (NIV)
“Let the message of Christ dwell among you richly as you teach and admonish one another with all wisdom through psalms, hymns, and songs from the Spirit, singing to God with gratitude in your hearts.”
Deuteronomy 11:18 (NIV)
“Fix these words of mine in your hearts and minds; tie them as symbols on your hands and bind them on your foreheads.”
GOD bless you All Always. GOD IS WORD
Thank you so much for the valuable video.
Memorising scripture will be easy if one is eager to learn and use it in their daily life. I used to love memorising scripture during the times i used to spend travelling and i have memorised psalms 1, 15,16, 23, 27, 91, 121, 128, and almost finished 34. Beside a lot of scripture verses which come in handy during my night prayers. I am not a pastor or connected with any chsrismatic or pentecostal church. But i love to master that and love to prayer for people. I also compose my own gospel tracks that i have uploaded on UA-cam. May God bless all who come here.
It's great to memorize verses but truly understanding scripture, spreading the gospel with others and walking the narrow path is certainly more important.
Praise God Amen.
Very true. May God bless you
I love memorizing you'll never run out of scripture to memorize. I've memorized the book of James, 12 chapters of John, Psalm 103, and as a birthday present I'm memorizing my Wife's favorite Psalm 139, about half way done. I rotate a chapter of what I've already memorized everyday. when i come to James I do the whole book. I actually don't spend that much time on memorizing a little bit everyday and you will be surprised how far you can get if you keep it up. I find their is a flow to the words when your reciting. do a word picture for a key word to keep the flow going. everyone can do it you just have to start.
Repetition over time is the easiest way to memorize pretty much anything. So simple yet so genius. Me personally is blessed to be able to quote much of the New Testament. I wouldn’t be able to give chapter and verses but after googling it I’d find it.
All praise and honor to the Most High God and his beloved Son.
Shalom
I know about 30 Psalms by memory by reading through the Psalm aloud every day when I grew up. I still remember it to this day, but I find it hard today to memorise new Psalms, even when I read it out aloud daily. I'm 61 now, I guess the older one gets the harder it is to memorise scripture
1 verse a month and 12 verse a year is better than nothing.That is amazing
Just 2 verses a day and you’d have the entire NT memorized in a decade.
It is GREAT and impressive to quote scripture!
More important. . .
is to truly understand the true meaning GOD intended🙏
Meditation is the best way to keep the word in your spirit.
practicality my friend
Memorizing scripture is primarily an act of the heart not the mind
It's best to have scripture in both
Ginger Berry, I’m not really sure what you are trying to convey. But to illustrate my point, I have an 8 year old with dyslexia who can memorize scripture so incredibly well and fast. And what I notice is that he also has an acute sense for understanding the scriptures and the things of God. So whenever someone puts God first and seeks His righteousness, memorizing scripture becomes pleasurable and not laborious.
For a few verses, write them on a 3x5 card in capital letters on one side, including punctuation. Begin each sentence with a larger cap.
On the other side write only the first letter of each word & punctuation marks. Looks weird, but follow my reasoning here.
Read the written-out side several times out loud. Flip to the first-letter-of-each-word side (call it side 2) and recite the verses, using the first letter to jog your memory. Can't remember what the word is? Flip it over and look. Rinse, spin, & repeat.
Here's the cool part: once you can do side two without error a bunch of times, looking at side 2 while you do it, start at the END (usually a period, comma, or semicolon) and do it BACKWORDS. Get lost?, flip it over and check. This is an open-book test.
When you can recite the verse (s) backwards (looking at side 2), you have memorized the passage. You may not BELIEVE that you have, but you have.
Stick the card in your pocket & when you have a moment (in line @ the store; waiting at a red light, listening to your boss in a boring meeting -whenever) pull it out, look at side 2 & quote the passage, backward & forward a time or two. You have it!
Now comes the hard part: Put the verses into PRACTICE! LIVE them.
May God bless your study.
Ah! Yes!!! And I saw a video one time, using that exact same method, for learning poems, and for learning lines for a part in a play! Use the initials as cues, keeping any caps and punctuation - for some folks, works like a charm! :-)
Psalm 119:11 "I have hidden your word (oh God) in my HEART, that I might not sin against you." People please, its the heart that God desires not the head; if your motive for wanting to learn and know the holy scriptures is right then you will not only have the right words to speak when the time comes but you will also be able to speak them in the love of God to those who need to hear them. But it all starts by recognizing both our own great need as well as the reality of the holy God who lives, gives life, and holds all things together by his mighty love.
Amen
When I first became a believer I prayed for the Lord to lead me to a Bible He wanted me to read from. He lead me to the New American Standard Version. In 4 years I've memorized over 800 verses. It's important to ask God for guidance to lead you.
EASIEST WAY IS TO REMEMBER IS LIVE IT AN APPLY IT TO YOUR LIFE , AN YOU BECOME WHAT YOU'VE READ AN PRACTICE
Our wonderful savour puts scripture on our hearts
This is awesome! I'm working on memorizing the book of Philippians. Scripture memory was really foundational for me as a kid, but this is the first time I've ever tried to memorize an entire book. This was encouraging to hear!
I myself have struggled with ADD all my days, this repetition over time strategy is the best one in my opinion, when it comes to the "Bible" word of God, Read from it everyday like he said for 15 minutes. Just like you would drink water every day to sustain yourself.
Brilliant. I’m going to TRY do 1-2 verses a week, by the grace of God. So I guess when you do that when ANY given situation arise the fact that you had already put those scriptures in your memory bank it will surface when needed. Lord help me Jesus I really want to be equipped in know Your word.
One pastor who passed away, can recite Genesis to revelation. I remember he spoke in one church and open the Bible without looking at it he speaks his sermon quoting scripture without looking. He shared that he tried to memorise scripture for several years.
I guess thats bro eli soriano isnt it?
Zakir Naik also can do that... 😂
The benefits of memorizing God's word are immeasurable. I memorized the book of Ephesians because I was asked by my pastor to teach our church's main bible study earlier this year and I still use the book of ephesians every day and see it's implications, paul's theology, and practical applications every day; months after memorizing Ephesians. Though packed with dense, deep theology Ephesians is a relatively short book in terms of memorization.
I think the most important aspect of meditating on the word of God is understanding. I don't quote it right but I understand it perfectly so I take my understanding of God's word to Him whenever I'm praying but whenever I try to say it as it is in the Bible, I start losing connection because I'm struggling to get it right word for word. I hope that's a good thing
_Memorize Scripture_ by Ron Hood is the book that got me excited about memorizing verses. You can find his book on the website with his name, but the only thing you need is the one page there that tells you his method. Just memorized my 1st chapter in the New Testament this month and adding more verses everyday. He also covers retaining the verses memorized in his method.
That's very good! Got me recalling something I read about memorizing longer passages: a fellow was doing it and found it worked only up to a point, when including the chapter:verse markings in memory. Then he tried dropping those, and learning the scriptures not so much verse-by-verse, but more like story-by story, and gobbled up a whole lot longer passages, and books. Went about on Appalachian trail after that, stopping at churches to recite for folks an entire Gospel by heart - which is a wonderful experience to hear, by the way.
I found out that, after memorizing, write it down at least once a day, meditate on it during quiet moments
Repeat the Verse aloud or in a whisper several times with thought. This will assist you in comprehending the Verse as a whole. Each time you read it, say the point, reference, section, and reference again without holding back. Talk about the area with God in supplication, and request His assistance in retaining Sacred writing.
Thanks~. I'll try the method. I need the word of God to make my spirit strong!
Amen
That is true about the words getting lost from you once you stop reviewing it. On the other hand, when you keep re reading and reviewing scripture the extreme opposite happens. You gain knowledge that is beyond the letters. You discover more meaning each time that it’s mind blowing! Some things are uncovered at the right time that if you’d experienced it you got chills from understanding little by the little the mystery in God’s work. The scriptures come to life and some of the teachings in scripture are made manifest through your own experience of them. You see it unfold as it is happening and your mind doesn’t just understand the knowledge but your spirit actually understands the truth in the scriptures. It’s magical truly truly magical sometimes.
Honestly it sounds simple but just seeking the Lord with all my heart in the Bible with joy because I honestly love Him and His words, so it’s never a boring labor
I enjoy it I’m always reading and trying to apply His Word
After time I found I had many verses memorized at times it has literally kept me from sinning as a verse would pop up in a situation to help me
The Holy Spirit brings what I have read and memorized to to my recall and I submit to the word and to God and the flesh and the devil flee away from me 😀
Believe me when I tell you that not only do I fail at times but sin also
Thank God in Jesus for His Grace and mercy
I think the key to memorize scripture is to read the scripture and apply it to your life that way the scripture becomes you. Just as the late great Dr. Myles Monroe said, “ it’s better to know what a scripture means than to memorize scripture” If your not applying it to your life it doesn’t matter because even Satan can quote scripture. Satan quoted scripture to Jesus in the desert while he was fasting
Your absolutely 💯 👌 right brother
yeah brother i believe you !
That's true. Obedience is key. We don't just want to memorize for the sake of it and just end up saying them rotely. We do need to hide in our heart His Word so as not to sin against God. We do need to biblically meditate on the Word. Plus when witnessing we need rely on the Holy Spirit to speak the Word ( we must have knowledge of it verbally too)to the unbeliever since "So then faith cometh by hearing and hearing by the Word of God" Romans 10:7
Read your bible often and trust in the Lord. The Holy Spirit will bring God's word to your memory. When I'm talking to people about God's word. The Holy Spirit brings verses to my memory. Even scripture I'd forgotten. Be patient. And many times I might have a,question the next time I open my bible often times I will open right to the answer. It amazes me every time. God is awesome. Seek God diligently and you will find him.

One tip I’ve got is to start with Psalm(s) 119. Start with that. (Having a photographic memory will definitely help but really anyone can do it with enough practice.) Once you’ve memorised that it’s kind of easier to remember other chunks of the Bible and commit them to heart.
If we read the word daily, the Holy Spirit will bring everything back to us... it’s not be effort or by out natural abilities but it’s supernatural
Yes, the Holy Spirit does do that. But why wouldn't you memorize scripture? The Bible says to keep God's word in your heart. I've heard testimonies of how God can use the verse you're memorizing to open doors to sharing his love. And I can't tell you how many times I couldn't quite remember the wording to that one verse. The Holy Spirit does move, but if you don't know scripture then you won't personally know God as well as you could. Check out Timothy Keller's sermon on "knowing the father". It doesn't talk about memorization, but it does explain the necessity of actively seeking out God through his word.
But why ever would *we* put forth effort to seek God?
It's not supernatural to get it in there, it's supernatural for it to become life in us
@@Wisdom.Lawson
?
Your point is?
Also, I can testify that the Bible certainly is supernatural. It's like a living, breathing thing that hits on things God wants you to hear at just the right time. It's truly amazing.

@@jericawilson1484 God never said to memorize scripture, but he did say to mediate on it day and night. mediating on the scripture..thinking about it, pondering it, applying it to your life, seeking revelations from the Holy Spirit. taking the time to do this will be better than memorizing .. it will be life changing..you will not need to worry about not remembering if you do it the bible way. Let the Holy Spirit help you
I tried this and it worked. This is a big deal for me due to attention deficit. I’ve been looking for something like this to memorize scripture. I’ve been blessed. Thank you!
Try using this method with Anki, that way it will keep track of reviews and you’ll never forget what you remember.
Good information. I've read Andy Davis' Scripture memory method and found it helpful. But the best way I have found to memorize Scripture is to not focus on memory but on meditation. I meditate on Scripture every morning and evening, sometimes the same text, but often a different text or the next passage over a larger text or book. Meditating on a text word by word opens up its meaning and application as nothing else I've found. The more you meditate on the text the better. The added benefit of this method is that prayer naturally flows from meditating on the text, and . . . oh yes - you find that you remember the text. You've memorized the text you're meditating on without the pressure and work of memorization (meditation is not work but a joy). You probably won't memorize whole books this way (maybe Jude and 3 John), but you will remember many short and medium sized passages that you can return to often, which helps you retain what you've learned. I highly recommend this method. It has been a great blessing to me and many others I've shared it with. This has been especially helpful for people who struggle with depression and/or anxiety as they focus on texts that speak to their need.
This method of Davis does work. When I memorize, I do 10 in the morning and 10 before bed.
Other ideas:
Flashcards

Writing
Reading
Ol'school stuff!!
Be very respectful in writing scripture.
O' Heanaigh yes amen, we don’t want to know “too much” scripture, that’d be a sin. God doesn’t want christians to know too much, according to the scripture, right?
@@Stayoffhereable no I'm talking about flash cards, be respectful to them once they have scripture written on them.
I'm happy for anyone learning about the Will of God.
O' Heanaigh I’m not necessarily sure how you disrespect paper.
@@Stayoffhereable You'd disrespect the bible by wiping your butt with it, blowing your nose on it, balling it up and throwing it away.
Even by setting it on the floor, putting other books on top of, or taking it into the bathroom, you disrespect it, and I'm asking that once you write scripture onto a piece of paper you threat it like the entire bible.
You do not lose memory. After periods of time the minds hard drive becomes full, just like a computer, and though things can hard to recall at a moments notice, the knowledge is still there.
Yes, it is true. I grew up in the church but left it at 15. Now I have come back to it and what amazes me is how much of the Bible I remember.
We only use 10% of our brains and are told the Holy Spirit will bring all things back to our remembrance.
@@deanpd3402 Praise the Lord you came back! I would love to see my daughter to as well Keep in the Word!
Thank you so much for taking the time to speak about Meditating on His Words and also including the links. I have already printed the scripture memory booklet and will prayfully read it. I have two boards with various scriptures that the Holy Spirit brings light upon it! I then pray over them or decree them, but did not realize the importance of repeating it 10 times for the Words to be full rooted within me etc. Wonderful Holy Spirit is a Great Teacher to give us ways to meditate. Again, thank you and May He continue to bless you and the Body of Messiah.
Moving memorization from short term to long term memory is integral to keeping it securely in our mind. After memorizing a chapter word perfect, repeat it every day for 7 days. Then after, recall that chapter once a week until it becomes trivial. Then, move it again to once a month only. This helps it become cemented in our long term memory and strengthens our ability to recall it. By occasionally remembering what we've learned, we have a much better chance of retaining all the life giving scripture we spent so much effort memorizing. Hope this helps, God bless.

First you gotta READ the thing 😄😄. Next try reading during fasting. 3 the Holy Spirit will bring to your remembrance what you've read
Children can memorize more easily so here is an idea for parents reading this would start their children with some of the more familiar short verses.
Also I have found , in Bible Clubs that I have done, you write the verse on a white board and repeat the verse two to three times then erase one word.... have kids say it
then erase another... one or two... then they say it ..etc.. and I have found most of them have it memorized after I have erased all the words
Genuinely having the infilling/baptism of the Spirit of the Lord Jesus Christ surely is the Greatest Aid to memorizing passages of His Holy Book (rf. John 14:26; Luke 12:12).
My method of memorization is to write out the verse on one side of a card, and then on the other side, I will only write the first letter of each word. Much quicker this way for me.
This is what I do as well. Just the first letter of every word.

herbbearingseed Great idea! Thank you for sharing! :D
I take a verse and memorize the first 4 words and repeat it until I memorize it. Then continue with the remaining words and do the same thing as you did in the beginning. Then I write it down until I remember it.
The next day , see if you can remember it by writing it down. I enjoy doing it this way', think it is fun. I still remember them. Everyone has a different method. Another thing , thinking of the meaning of the verse will also help.
"The Navigators" is a great group focused on Scripture memory. I've found what works for me best as far as retention is to consciously live my life by it, 'the one thing I do'. There is a difference, I think, between believing in something and 'be-living' that something. Time spent in prayer and focusing on GOD, giving HIM praise and gratitude for ALL THINGS is the starting point. Love, Joy, Peace to all. Philippians 3:13-14, 3:7-11, John 1:12-13, Philippians 4:4-7, Galatians 5:22-2
Peace brother, we use the Navigators cards at our Bible Study with good results too.
Honestly By Using This Method I Memorized The Entire Sam 119 ( Biggest Chapter Of The Bible) But The Funny Thing Is I Came To This Video After Memorizing It...🙂
Fall in love with the verse a bit and it will be printed on your heart
When I first heard verses like 1 Timothy 4:8 which says "Exercise profitith little, but godliness is good for all things." I remembered it cause I am a fatty and I related to it. You don't need to remember it word for word, but meaning for meaning.
A verse that I don't really like or care for is much harder for me to memorize long term. Target scripture that you like or that you can use a lot in real time. A verse like Ephesians 4:29 is probably going to be a better verse to memorize than some random verse out of the book of numbers
I think a powerful way to do so is apply what you have read in prayer; more of active recall.... It helps 📖
God will bring the words in your remembering ...
I'm so glad he said that. I've spent most of my life memorizing prose and poetry, and spaced repetition is the most important factor for long-term memory. I like to sleep on a passage before I attempt it again. It seems that sleep reduces the amount of memory interference.
It also helps to create images for what you are learning, and try to recall those same images every time.
The amazing thing about verse retention is when it dawns on you who originated the verses you are intending on retaining.
This is where it gets personal.
There is great value, I memorised chapters in Psalms. 1.When you memorise, you also meditate on that scripture because you have to repeat it over and over again. 2. When you are under spiritual attack and feel that you can't pray or under severe temptation, quoting the scriptures focus the mind more than just reading. 3. Jesus quoted scriptures so had to learn them. 4. Psalm 1 Blessed is the man ...and in His law does he meditate day and NIGHT ( I presume they didn't sit around at night with scrolls)
I have memorised Psalm 119. and many more passages. I have gained great blessings by this practice.It is far more better than memorising world stuff that is prone to get outmoded.God's word is eternally valid.So memorising it is worth the effort. In these End Times God's Word will soon get rare and it is advisable to learn it by heart at least some parts. Hebrew 11th chapter specially( and of course practise it also).As per Gensis 49:21,let us be Naphtalis .
Remember Matthew 6:9-13
God bless you all. 😊
I found this book and read it cover to cover 3 months ago. Since then I have memorized 1 Peter through 3:13 and it works!!!

Pray to God to help you memorize scripture.
I say praying for memorization to God truly helps. It has helped me, and slowly I am remembering the passage I need to remember.

Just to read the Bible takes time i almost done reading the Bible till now it took me 3 months...
Planing to memorized the all Bible..
Lots of people memorized the Bible in olden times, but it makes sense. If you have only one book in your house, and you're deeply religious, you would read and recite that Bible a lot. Back then there were no convenient libraries or the Internet.
Yes that's only book I have in home the HOLY BIBLE .. I'm reading the last books LAMENTATIONS AND EZEQUIEL
Was looking for a "magic bullet" to learn Scriptures and the Holy Spirit set the record straight of how He wants it done in my spirit with this video!😣🙏
This video is 6 years old and there are a number of recent comments.
First step to do anything is to say : It's easy. Second step is to say : it will be worth it. Third step is to keep it consistent until you achieve the desired results. BAM !
Thank you this was helpful. I do have the will. I want to truly have the Word hidden in my heart so I will not sin against Abba.
Awesome Pastor. Praise God for your answers.❤
What I found is not to but be elated when you find and God lets you find your you scripture God bless
Good morning I read every day Jesus is calling and it has the scripture after every passage was from Habakkuk 3*17*19so naturally I didn't know where it was so I have to look it up and that's where I said passage is in a different part of the Bible once you find it then you're smiling you feel that you have accomplished what you wanted to do God bless everyone 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏😇❤️ it's a 💓💓💐🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥 and guess what put God first and everything that you do
An especially helpful way of coming to understand scripture more deeply in this on-line age of learning is through audio books. Right here on UA-cam The Holy Bible, read by Alexander Scourby May be the most compelling listen to the greatest story ever told.. I implore these types of audio learners to seek out this gifted reader of the Word.
I love ScriptureTyper!! I use this app every. single. day.

Thanks. You helped me pass my bible exam. :)
Big smile from me! How wonderful, and useful!
Thank you for sharing the easiest/simplest two ways of Memorizing the scripture.
Good exhortation. Thanks for sharing.
I read your spiritual disciplines book and it is incredible. My husband is now currently reading it! Thank you!
In fact, repetition is one of the least efficient ways to memorize something, but it is the only method American schools teach. Others have mentioned the memory palace, which is one good method. A brief search will reveal others, too.
This dudes beard game is strong!
Thank you.God Bless you.💯🙏
Yah's True love, True mercy, True grace and True peace shines upon His Words. Indeed! God Bless All.Thank you very much for sharing.
Memory and knowing are 2 different things…the difference between the worldly mind and heart or soul
How true. Yet knowing often starts with memory, and doing often starts with knowing, isn't it so?
That’s actually really reassuring
WOW great advise thanks for sharing
I boast in the Lord God. Memorizing 6 verses every other book. And repeated again. Tried more verses to memorize.
Thank you.
God bless Us All.
If we were to borrow Dr Davis' method, and add the practice of "spaced learning", we could memorize plenty of books of scripture, and also keep them from fading for a lot longer. I mean: eviewing the whole book you just learned, every day, then every other day, then skip more and more days: the memory of that book grows deeper and stronger and needs less and less frequent review to keep it fresh. (See also Ebbinghaus on the "forgetting curve" and related stuff.)
Please pray for me have trouble memories scripture 🙌🕊
Me too brother. It really bugs me

What is the best way to retain the Lord's words in our heart?
Write the words on a small 3 by 5 paper and carry them and make a record of the words.
Then repeat the words allowed which are written while at the same time hearing the record of your own voice.
Do it often with the purpose of putting your own melody to the words.
Then make a record of you singing the words. Then play the record of you singing and sing along the words as you hear the record.
Consider how many of us learn the A, B, C's.
Once the song is learned, can any one ever fail to remember their a, b, c's?
Then teach your children the song and they too will retain the LORD's words in their heart and will have the talent to be instant and rehearse the pure words of the LORD in the ears of those that both need to be saved and those that seek the spiritual water of salvation.
I put a melody to Proverbs 4 line 4 which is one of hundreds of precepts my children and I sing:
Proverbs 4:4 He taught me also, and said unto me, Let thine heart retain my words: keep my commandments, and live.
Keep singing the words in the precept over and over again. You will soon be ready to rehearse the counsel of the Lord's heart and sing the words of the Lord throughout the day.
Psalm 119:54
Thy statutes have been my songs in the house of my pilgrimage.
Colossians 3:16
Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly in all wisdom; teaching and admonishing one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing with grace in your hearts to the Lord.
Psalm 40:1-3
I waited patiently for the LORD; and he inclined unto me, and heard my cry.
[2] He brought me up also out of an horrible pit, out of the miry clay, and set my feet upon a rock, and established my goings.
[3] And he hath put a new song in my mouth, even praise unto our God: many shall see it, and fear, and shall trust in the LORD.
Proverbs 6:20 My son, keep thy father's commandment, and forsake not the law of thy mother:
21 Bind them continually upon thine heart, and tie them about thy neck.
22 When thou goest, it shall lead thee; when thou sleepest, it shall keep thee; and when thou awakest, it shall talk with thee.
23 For the commandment is a lamp; and the law is light; and reproofs of instruction are the way of life:
Having a memory palace is also a great way to memorize. It makes recall much easier. We use a memory palace for James and other books and 3 years later, the verses are still in memory. They come back to you like an old friend. Also, Falling in love with the God of the bible, will help you along the way :)
But the Helper, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in my name, he will teach you all things and bring to your remembrance all that I have said to you.

Get off that ESV and go to the KJV

Hey there... I downloaded the PDF and it's been of tremendous help to me. Thanks so much!
Amen! God be praised!
What is the easiest way to memorize Scripture is to leave your memory to the Holy Spirit that resides in you, in our mind where our spiritual war between good and evil always was and is!!! After once you hear or read the Word in the bible, He will bring to remembrance Whatsoever you have heard or read concerning what Jesus said unto you!
Amen Brother
@@tonycaps6494 Yes, I do hope you are a brother in Christ.
Thanks for providing this! I love getting to help people memorize scripture with songs, but longer passages can be challenging to turn into meaningful songs!
I think that Memory Palace can be a very effective tool to memorize the Scripture fast and with less effort
Thank you. God bless.
Sorry if this is going to sound critical, but I think the technique mentioned in this video is pretty awful, because it all boils down to rote memorization. If it does work for you, more power to you though. The technique that I've been using is like the memory palace technique, since verses are sequential:
1) I picked ESV, because I want to focus on the verse and not the grammar, or the archaic verb tenses/pronouns. Pick whichever translation works for you.
2) Pick a place that you know well, typically your house. Identify as many places (called loci) in your house as the number of verses you intend on memorizing. There should be a trail from the first verse all the way to the last verse as you proceed through your memory palace.
3) In each verse, pick out keywords that will help you remember the verse.
4) In each verse, place those keywords in that loci that matches up with verse number. Make up a story with the keywords if that helps you remember. Reading a commentary might also help contextualize and increase your imagination for that loci.
5) Use a spaced repetition schedule to help you practice and identify weak areas.
6) You want to memorize 2-3 verses each day depending on how much time you want to allocate. If you have more time, then pile on more verses. Each time you practice, you recite the entire set of verses that you've memorized so far.
I try to recite verses when I shower, pray or meditate.
Thank you!
Thank you and God bless you. This works for me. It can be tedious but the result is a blessing to my soul
The same way we rewind a song 50 times is the same way repetitiveness for Bible verses
It's weird how you'll learn an entire song within a week of its release but cannot memorise scripture 😭. I feel like it's God's way of keeping me engaged with the word of God everyday. Otherwise we'd just memorise the entire Bible and never have the need to read the Bible.
Why are people saying not to memorise scripture because it won’t help? Then they say that the devil memorises scripture. Do you not think that your LORD knows the scriptures? Jesus memorised them very well and thus knew them perfectly so that he was impossible to deceived. Many times, he quoted scripture from his head. It is good to know it in your head, then you will know what is correct and what is incorrect. What is a lie and what is true. You will be impossible to deceive. And there WILL be great deceptions that were prophesied in the bible. So please be prepared. The devil misquotes scripture.
