Hiding God's Word in your heart

[~candice~]

What scripture have you memorised? How has it helped you ?

Do you have any scriptures you recommend that I memorise? Do you want to memorise them with me?

Ps 119 (NASB)

9How can a young man keep his way pure?

By keeping it according to Your word.

10With all my heart I have sought You;

Do not let me wander from Your commandments.

11Your word I have treasured in my heart,

That I may not sin against You.

12Blessed are You, O LORD;

Teach me Your statutes.

13With my lips I have told of

All the ordinances of Your mouth.

14I have rejoiced in the way of Your testimonies,

As much as in all riches.

15I will meditate on Your precepts

And regard Your ways.

16I shall delight in Your statutes;

I shall not forget Your word.

I've memorized the beatitudes, a couple of chapters in Psalms, and promises from different parts of the bible. Whenever I need scripture and don't have a bible or any of those e-bibles around, a verse I have memorized comes to mind. *makes mental note to continue memorizing*

I recommend you memorize different promises given by God - the Spirit of God will bring those verses to mind through life's toughest times.

I'll memorize with you, if you'd like.

EDIT: I want to memorize 1 Corinthians 13 because it's one of those life chapters...applicable to daily living. Anyone want to join me in memorizing that chapter if you haven't got it memorized already?

What A Wonderful Thread

There Are Two Scriptures Which Always ( ) "Stole" The Joy Of Sin Away From Me As I Walked Through My Navy And College Years

This One Pointed Me Back To The Wonders Of The Bible, To The LORD Jesus Christ

And To The Stories And The Lessons Of Sin And Of Obedience I Learned As A Child From The Lives Of All My Aunts And Uncles I Found Within It's Holy Pages

Thy word have I hid in mine heart, that I might not sin against thee.

Psalms 119:11

And Without Equivocation, This One Would Pop Into My Mind Are The Most "Inconvenient" Times ( ) Reminding Me That My Actions Can Never Be Neutral. I Either Will Stand With Jesus Or I Will Stand Against Him. There Just Are No Other Choices In A Young Man's Life!

He that is not with me is against me: and he that gathereth not with me scattereth.

Luke 11:23

Dear Sister, I Truly Believe All Good Things Come Down From God

Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, and cometh down from the Father of lights, with whom is no variableness, neither shadow of turning.

James 1:17

And The Bible Is Indeed The Sword Of The Holy Ghost

And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God:

Ephesians 6:17

And It Is He

For it is God which worketh in you both to will and to do of his good pleasure.

Philippians 2:13

Who Gives Us The Hunger

As the hart panteth after the water brooks, so panteth my soul after thee, O God.

Psalms 42:1

And The Way To Know The LORD Almighty

But when the Comforter is come, whom I will send unto you from the Father, even the Spirit of truth, which proceedeth from the Father, he shall testify of me:

John 15:26

As His Trusting Adoring Loving Praising Growing Beloved Little Ones

And because ye are sons, God hath sent forth the Spirit of his Son into your hearts, crying, Abba, Father.

Galatians 4:6

Be Blessed Beloved Daughter Of The KING

The LORD bless thee, and keep thee:

The LORD make his face shine upon thee, and be gracious unto thee:

The LORD lift up his countenance upon thee, and give thee peace.

And they shall put my name upon the children of Israel; and I will bless them. Numbers 6:24-27

Love, Your Brother Joe

Then Israel sang this song, Spring up, O well; sing ye unto it:

Numbers 21:17

I will sing of the mercies of the LORD for ever: with my mouth will I make known thy faithfulness to all generations.

Psalms 89:1

I took a Bible doctrines course a few years ago that required me to memorize 20 passages for each test. I recently pulled out my cards to refresh them in my mind. I have also recently decided to memorize the entire book of 1 John. I don't find memorization easy, but it is worthwhile.

[OneLight]

Wish I could memorize ... I am so glad that the Holy Spirit will bring back to memory scripture when needed, otherwise, I would be out of luck.

[~candice~]

Joe, I got a little chuckle out of that . Your honesty is refreshing.

I love Romans, so perhaps a few chunks of Romans would be a good place to start memorising.

[eagleswings]

I too like Onelight renewed my mind with reading the word and when needed the Lord brings what scripture I need to speak and when....There are different scriptures at differernt times in my walk with the Lord that helped me...one is ALL things work together for the good of those who love Me...stood on it when I did,n,t understand what was going on or why

I love Romans, so perhaps a few chunks of Romans would be a good place to start memorising.

Starting with what interests you is a good idea.

[stillwaters]

I like to memorize Christ centered verses...

Isaiah 52:13-15; Chapter 53

I have also wroked with several Psalms...1; 23; 121; 103

Isaiah chapter 12...it is such a surprise and joy to find the gospel in the OT.

I also have most of Ephesians chapter 1 memorized and the beginning of Ephesians chapter 2.

Thanks for this thread, I need the encouragement to keep this up.

I know many scriptures by heart, mostly those ones that God gave me at certain points in my life and which spoke to me in very special ways. I try to memorize more...but one verse that I really recite every morning is Psalm 91:1...

"Whoever dwells in the shelter of the Most High, will rest in the shadow of the Almighty."

It gives me the assurance of His protection, which I need every morning as I walk to work at 5:30 am for my early morning classes. I live in Bogota, Colombia.

Blessings...South
