There Is No Substitute for Memorizing Scripture

I feel like crying as I understand today how important it is to memorize scriptures. God be kind to me. Help me secure your words inside my mind.

2 Timothy 2:15 STUDY TO SHOW YOURSELF APPROVED UNTO GOD, a workmen that need not be ashamed RIGHTLY DIVIDING THE WORD OF GOD

The importance of memorising scripture is as simple as Jesus deflected temptation by stating... it is written,..... if we don’t have it memorised how do we deflect temptation?

Thank you for all the great videos! The nearest place I can think of God asking us to memorize his word comes from Deuteronomy 11:18 -19 18"You shall therefore impress these words of mine on your heart and on your soul; and you shall bind them as a sign on your hand, and they shall be as frontals on your forehead. 19"You shall teach them to your sons, talking of them when you sit in your house and when you walk along the road and when you lie down and when you rise up.

I grew up memorizing verses through Awana for 13yrs, finished with my Sparks plaque and Citation. I started college and with no workbook to spur me on I set aside memorization for 6yrs. I have come to the realization that I need to begin memorizing again.

Psalm 1 verse 2 - 3 : But his delight [is] in the law of the LORD, And in His law he meditates day and night. He shall be like a tree Planted by the rivers of water, That brings forth its fruit in its season, Whose leaf also shall not wither; And whatever he does shall prosper.

This Man of God is bless bless bless. I Love the way he talk and the way he explains what he is explaining to with clarity and clear meanings.I just have Lol..He is just out spoken.He is really good at it . blessed love to you.

Convicted! Thank you Holy Spirit

Amen. Praise the Lord.

All glory to Jesus Christ. Praise the Lord

By the grace of God I've been able to memorize almost 6 epistles now. I want to point out that it has been extremely beneficial in my life. And anybody can do that. If it sounded like I was bragging, then it's based on nothing, because we've all got brains so anybody can do it. and if you just memorize 2 verses a day, you can memorize over 730 verses a year, which would equal James, Ephesians, Philippians, Galatians, Colossians, 1 Peter and Jude. But even if you could only memorize one verse a day, you would still have memorized more than you have now.

Dear pastor: Yes the Bible actually talks about memorizing Bible verses ( saving them in our hearts). Psalms 119:9-11 KJV "Wherewithal shall a young man cleans his way? By taking heed thereto according to Thy word. With my whole heart have I sought Thee: O let me not wander from Thy commandments. THY WORD HAVE I HID IN MINE HEART, THAT I MIGHT NOT SIN AGAINST THEE."

You just have to believe in Christ. Memory is a fruit of the spirit. Don't condemn yourself through your own works. Let it flow from grace upon you.

Thanks for the reminder! :)

Yes i just got done memorizing my 20th chapter..John Piper is correct..I always thought I was a good Christian compared to other Christians..BUT after memorizing scriptures...I can see where I had been double minded..In order to memorize you have to constantly review it often each day or you will forget it..so you are mediating it all the time..Psalm 1 and John 14:23 God and Jesus will abide i you and SET YOU FREE john 8:31 John 6:63 "My Word is Spirit "

Amen 🙏

Amen.

Amen
