“HOW DO YOU REMEMBER BIBLE VERSES”
“HOW DO YOU
REMEMBER BIBLE VERSES”
Dear
Reader, if you are like me, you may struggle to remember Bible verses.
You know,
you put in a lot of effort … but then the verse simply slips out of your mind
like sand through the fingers.
So I have
had to devise my own system for having permanent memory of verses.
Now the
secret of remembering anything is REPETITION WITH DETERMINATION.
Dear Reader
… stick this in your brain … it’s repetition, repetition, repetition,
repetition, repetition … and lastly more repletion!
In the
70’s, I taught Mathematics and Physics to High School students … and this involved
remembering a lot of formulae and such like.
“But Sir, I
knew it last week … but I’ve forgotten it!”
Yes Dear
Reader, when you first learn something on Day 1 … say a Bible verse … on Day 2
it will seem you never learnt the verse.
You’ll say
“How did that happen? I knew it yesterday … a few days ago … last week!”
I mean … it’s
like building muscle … no-one goes to the gym once and expect the effects to
last.
No … it’s repetition,
repetition, repetition, repetition, repetition … and lastly more repletion!
You never
forget how to tie your shoe laces … why? … repetition, repetition,
repetition and lastly repetition !!! We do it everyday.
Just think
of that … if you repeated a verse everyday several times you’d never, ever
forget it … would you? I guarantee you’ll dream the verse in its perfection.
STEP 1
It must be
the King James Bible.
Why? God’s
Spirit hovers over his perfect words … nothing else … God’s infallible,
inerrant, inspired words.
STEP 2
Perfect the
repeating of every syllable … do not leave any out.
Take the
word ‘recognition’ … it has four (4) syllables as follows …
“Re - cog –
nit – ion”
Let’s take
JOHN 3:16
For God so
loved the world
(6 syllables) Line 1
that he
gave his on-ly be-gott-en Son
(10 syllables) Line 2
that who-so-ever
believe-eth in him
(10 syllables) Line 3
should not
per-ish but have ev-er-last-ing life
(11 syllables) Line 4
27
syllables … God’s perfect number … 3 x 3 x 3 = 27 … the Godhead (‘trinity’ x
3).
Now just
suppose you had never learnt this verse before … this is what you need to say
to yourself …
if you have bad memory …
“Ah! John
3:16 … the verse has 27 syllables … six, ten, ten, eleven. I can’t
remember the whole verse but I’ll learn the first six”
repetition,
repetition, repetition, repetition, repetition, repetition, repetition,
repetition, repetition, repetition, repetition, repetition, repetition,
repetition, repetition, repetition, repetition, repetition … and you do this for three
days straight
“For God so
loved the world … For God so loved the world … For God so loved the world … For
God so loved the world … For God so loved the world” … fifty times a day
if you have to!
Drive
yourself nuts if you have to. Say it out loud too!
Then repeat
this process for Line 2
Then repeat
this process for Line 3
Then repeat
this process for Line 4
CONCLUSION:
How ever
you do it …
it’s simply
REPETITION, REPETITION, REPETITION, REPETITION, REPETITION, REPETITION,
REPETITION, REPETITION, REPETITION, REPETITION, REPETITION, REPETITION,
REPETITION, REPETITION, REPETITION, REPETITION, REPETITION, REPETITION,
REPETITION, REPETITION, REPETITION, REPETITION, REPETITION, REPETITION,
REPETITION, REPETITION, REPETITION, REPETITION, REPETITION, REPETITION,
REPETITION, REPETITION, REPETITION, REPETITION, REPETITION, REPETITION!
