If you began memorizing with us on Mother's Day, you've just completed your first week. How are you doing? Don't let the enemy discourage you if you have gotten behind. Just pick up where you left off and start in again.
I find that writing a verse out helps me to memorize. I also use the instructions offered in Dr. Davis' booklet in combination with writing. However, don't skip the suggestion to say the verse out loud. At first I felt silly and only memorized the verse in my head. However, later, when I tried to quote the verse aloud, I found that I couldn't do it! Audibly reviewing your verse is a must.
Oh, and one more thing--be sure to say the chapter and number when you practice, "1-3 I thank my God upon every remembrance of you." "1-4 Always in every prayer of mine for you all, making request with joy." "1-5 For your fellowship..." and so on. It may seem cumbersome at first, but is invaluable for a couple of reasons. First, when you get farther along in your memorization of the book, you'll find that the chapter and verse numbers help to anchor your place. Secondly, you'll need those references for later recall.
Keep checking back for encouragement and memorization tips. And while you're here, blog me a line or two. You encourage me, too, and I hope to inspire others to memorize with us. I think we all sense the magnitude of the times we are living in. My motivation for memorizing was that I wanted to be prepared for whatever may be coming prophetically speaking. One way to prepare myself is to have a wealth of the Word stored up in my heart.
Happy memorizing!

Jeremiah 15:16 Your words were found, and I ate them, And Your word was to me the joy and rejoicing of my heart; For I am called by Your name, O LORD God of hosts.
