If you are new to BibleMemory.com you may not have deveolped your own strategy of what works for memorizing on this automated systerm. For example, after you do Type It once, and the button is highlighted for you to continue on to Memorizie It, should you take that suggestion, or do Type It again?
So, here is one method of using BibleMemory.com:
First, thank God for His word, the Bible, and for BibleMemory.com that helps us memorize His word. Ask God to help you in memorizing, and claim a promise, like Matthew 7:7 Ask, and it shall be given you;, seek, and ye shall find; knock, and the door shall be opened unto you. Then,
1. Type It three times.
2. Use Memorize It to type the verse six times, (3 times for each set of every other word.)
3. Try the Master It.
4. If you don't master it, then start over at 1. but only type it once, then do the Memorize It twice. Then try the Master it again.
Once a verse is mastered, lock it at review daily until you have thoroughly learned it. The review frequency can then be set to once a month. (If the review frequency is set to longer than monthly, and the verse has gone more than a month without reviewing it, that verse will not count toward your group points.)
For long passages another strategy is needed. Scripture Typer can simply be added to other ways of memorizing. In other words, Scripture Typer can be used as assessment and review for other memory exercises.
So here is a method for memorizing Bible verses which does not use the computer:
A. Read the reference aloud (e.g. John 3:16). Read the whole verse. Say the reference again. Repeat this three times. (reference, verse, reference)
B. Read the reference and the first phrase aloud. Repeat this five times. (e.g. John 3:16 For God so loved the world). Then move on to the next prhase and say it five times (that He gave His only begotten Son). Do this until you have said all the phrases in the verse five times.
C. Start at the beginning, and say the reference and the first phrase, and the next time add a prhase to it and say this five times (John 3:16 For God so loved the world, that He gave His only begotten Son). Continue adding phrases until you are able to say the whole verse.
D. Then go to scripture Typer and use the three steps, Type It, Memorize It, Master It, as outlined above.
Here are some other Bible promises for you:
Jeremiah 29:13 And ye shall seek Me, and find Me, when ye shall search for Me with all your heart.
Psalm 119:11 Thy word have I hid in mine heart, that I might not sin against Thee.
If we are truly seeking God, and wanting to do His will, we will have good success, as it says in the following verse,
Joshua 1:8 This book of the law shall not depart out of thy mouth; but thou shalt meditate therein day and night, that thou mayest observe to do according to all that is written therein: for then thou shalt make thy way prosperous, and then thou shalt have good success.
