I was not sure which forum to post this in, so I hope it is ok here. I am looking for some tips on scripture memorization. I have a very hard time memorizing things because of some meds I am on. So if anyone has any ideas that might help, I would really appreciate it. I want to be able to carry the Word with me at all times, even if no bible on hand.

But if that will not work for you what I do sometimes is write them on a 3x5 index card and place them in my dash board and in my pocket, and when I get a chance to look at it I recite it out loud to myself untill I get it. Then find someone that you can quote it back to with out looking.

What is Awana?
Awana is an international, Bible-centered children's and youth ministry providing local churches with weekly clubs and programs for preschool through high school. Our goal is to equip churches to reach children and teenagers, and their families, with the gospel of Christ and train them to serve Him. (Click here to learn about the hope, vision, mission and values of Awana.) The acronym Awana comes from the first letters of Approved Workmen Are Not Ashamed, taken from 2 Timothy 2:15.
Awana began in 1950 as a youth program at the North Side Gospel Center in Chicago, Illinois. Lance Latham, the church pastor, worked with Art Rorheim to develop a program that would appeal to young people, reach them with the gospel and train them in the Lord’s work. Other churches heard about the success of the Awana program and asked if they could use it. By 1960, Awana had registered 900 clubs.
Today, more than 10,400 churches in the United States run Awana. There are clubs in all 50 states. Awana can also be found in 3,200 churches in 109 other countries and six continents. Jack Eggar is our President/CEO. Art Rorheim serves as our Co-founder/President Emeritus.
Regional missionaries and ministry teams will assist you in establishing Awana as a vital part of your local church.

Scripture memory by 3's work very well. I have been teaching this method for almost 30 years. Anyone who has used the approach has been able to memorize, even a 90 year old member!
1. Pick a verse: i.e. "For I determined not know anything among you except Jesus Christ and Him crucified." 1 Corinthians 2:2.
Speak the first 3-4 words, three times, and then add three more words, and recite all of it three times - always include the reference.
For I determined
For I determined
For I determined
For I determined not to know anything
For I determined not to know anything
For I determined not to know anything
For I determined not to know anything among you except
For I determined not to know anything among you except
For I determined not to know anything among you except
For I determined not to know anything among you except Jesus Christ and Him crucified.
For I determined not to know anything among you except Jesus Christ and Him crucified.
For I determined not to know anything among you except Jesus Christ and Him crucified.
For I determined not to know anything among you except Jesus Christ and Him crucified. 1 Corinthians 2:2
For I determined not to know anything among you except Jesus Christ and Him crucified. 1 Corinthians 2:2
For I determined not to know anything among you except Jesus Christ and Him crucified. 1 Corinthians 2:2
2. Follow that process in step 1, three times each day for three days.
3. On the fourth day, pick another verse and follow Steps 1 and 2. BUT, review the first Bible verse saying it completely three times, three times each day.
4. The next week, you can add a third verse to memorize. But always say the ones you have learned three times in a row, three times in a day.
At the end of 36 days, you will never forget the Bible verse. Review the verses once a week thereafter or as needed. I memorized some verses in 1978 that I still do not review regularly, but they come to me immediately.

John 5:39 You diligently study the Scriptures because you think that by them you possess eternal life. These are the Scriptures that testify about me, 40 yet you refuse to come to me to have life.
These guys studied to memorize what the scriptures said while oblivous as to what they meant. I recommend a reading or Bible on CD listening to the Bible all the way through as many times as you can. And in Bible study first pray the Holy Spirit to open the scriptures to you (John 16:13, 2 Peter 1:20-21). Also buy an exhaustive concordance. The pocket concordnaces or the one in the back of the Bible are essentially useless because seldom will they include the words or verses you seek. The exhaustive concordance has every word of scripture catalogued in it and many include original language lexicons. |

Reps: 214,218,315,370 (power: 214,218,323) | | | I have found the best way to memorize is a variation of the 3x5 cards. Write out the verses, speaking them while you write. Actually, make a couple of sets of cards like this, speaking the words as you write them. In this you are adding one more layer to the possible ways your brain will file the information. Seeing it on the page in your Bible is one layer; the tactile sense is engaged in writing, and sight again in seeing the words come out of your pen onto the card. The auditory memory is called into play when we hear it, and the act of speaking it also registers in the memory.
Memory is a very tricky thing, so the more avenues you can use to retrieve what you learn the better. Also, repetition is very important, as was stated earlier. |
