I've memorized Ps.119. NKJV. It took me 6 months to memorize and 6 months to retain. Thank You, Jesus...

Just subscribed! memorizing the word of God is so important. We memorize song lyrics, commercial jingles, and random history facts but can't memorize scripture? now you KNOW thats the enemy. The bible says we are overcomers. if we can memorize song lyrics we can for sure memorize the word of God :)

I feel as if i have found my own personal tutor in you :) Thank you.

I memorized James by just repeating over and over and it's super great because it's easier to integrate scripture into conversation. I'm returning to this video for when I try to memorize Ephesians the next 3months

I started with chapters when I was living in Arizona away from my family. This helped to fill the loneliness I felt while living there.

This is motivating!!! I’ve always said I can’t memorize and that’s a lie. With Christ all things are possible!!! I’m going to start with Psalm 1. There we are told what a delight it is to mediate day and night on his law. How perfect is that for memorizing God’s Word. Thank you for making it all seem doable.

this is amazing, I am really excited, I have memorized several psalms and scriptures but i never i have thought of memorizing entire books, it is amazing, i can't wait to start tomorrow God first. pray for me.

This really helped and encouraged me! I just started my first book: James. Thanks for reminding me the point is not memorization; it’s to be closer to the Lord! God bless you, sister!

Girl, you have blessed me, I know that I am anointed to preach Gods word, Once I taken your method that you have implemented, it has taken me to another level in God it is powerful, fun and interesting. I have no husband nor any children at home I have nothing but time. Gods word is spirit and is life, I have started praying the word as well my joy is full I am happier you are a God sent there is no depression in God. I spend hours with God, soon after the devil attacked me and I knew right away the reason, I put the word of God on him so quick and he left immediately I sent him on his way quick and in a hurry. There are times God will wake me up in the morning and start speaking to me, God is just Awesome. Thank you so much and continue to let God use. JoAnn

Even if I don't memorise complete books of the Bible,I can at least remember more scriptures! Amen! What a blessing you are!

When you showed your hand written copy, it reminded me of Deuteronomy 17:18 "When he [King of Israel] takes the throne of his kingdom, he is to write for himself on a scroll a copy of this law, taken from that of the Levitical priests. It is to be with him, and he is to read it all the days of his life so that he may learn to revere the LORD his God and follow carefully all the words of this law and these decrees and not consider himself better than his fellow Israelites and turn from the law to the right or to the left. Then he and his descendants will reign a long time over his kingdom in Israel. " SO YOUR SUGGESTIONS were GOD's LAW for the King. God even teaches us how to memorize and meditate!! Love it.

"/.../those verses are in the fibre of your being." I love the way you put it!

You should be a audio Bible voice over. Also this is very inspiring, I will get my zeal back through this, your ministry is a blessing xx

Girl!!! Within the first 2 words of you speaking I subscribed!! There is something very blessed about you. I very quickly felt that I recognized your spirit...It is the Spirit of God. Thank you for the great tips!! Jesus bless

This woman is truly a blessed and beautiful woman of God a man with a Godly woman is a treasure

Part 2 Once I have become familiar with the whole book I then set up my CD player to repeat a single chapter over and over. I find that I don't actually try to memorize the book so much as it just happens on it's own. After a while I can recite the chapter while I'm listening to it. Another thing that I do is to outline the chapter from memory so that I don't just know the text but also have a clear sense of the meaning. I will also do a one minute summary, a three minute summary and a five minute summery of each chapter. Each increase in the length of summery allows me to include more detail. The first book I memorized was Paul's letter to the Romans. It took me about two years, but it made such a big impact on my understanding of the Christian life that I was hooked. Thank you so much for your videos. You've given me a lot of great ideas and tips to include in my memorization and Bible study. May the Lord bless you abundantly!

Psalm 91 is awesome

Your hair is gorgeous

"Lord, you have searched me and known me" is sealed in my heart💜

His Word In My Heart: leading ourselves to a closer walk with Jesus Suggest using Spiral Index Cards 2. I mayy not finish until Jesus returns but memorizing gods word gel 1. Prayerfully Choose A Book, Psalm, or passage a. What's been on your heart lately 2. Write Versus in Spiral Index Cards a. It's investing time engaging the word tangibly and practically b. Write the number and verse 3. Say It Out Loud a. You will discover your rhythm and unique voice in speaking gods word 4. Say it with feeling a. Like acting 🎭 in a play, spoken word, or audio performance b. Helps with a better understanding 5. Learn one verse at a tie. Say the same verse repeatedly throughout the day. b. In the car, doctor office, making a meal, exercising 6. Repeat 7. Review 8. Redeem The Time: look for moments to do scripture memory doing low-value activity laundry, chores, 9. Encourage yourself to keep going because the fruit is Amazing. "Not a checklist, but the God of the universe has a standing appoint we you!” 10. The goal is not the investment of memorization but growing a closer, intimate, and loving relationship with the Lord and Savior Jesus.

These are some great tips, Kim! I particularly like the idea of "saying it with FEELING". For me, the more that I memorize and repeat a passage, the more I feel like I understand the tone of the author, and that gives me the confidence to "say it with feeling". I *feel it* when Paul speaks with frustration at the church of Galatians in chapter 4 (specifically verse 20). Thanks for sharing!!

This has really encouraged me to read the Bible! Thank you! God bless you!

This really works! Thanks a ton. I've now got ephesians 1:1-12 down and it's so good repeat it all the time - on my bike, in the shower, in the car, where ever - because the words start to sink in and become so meaningful and beloved to me.

I just discovered your videos today! Love them! I have been memorizing scripture for years. It is truly the lamp to my feet & light of my path. Your video encourage some things I've been doing but added some new things for me to try. I plan to add the spiral note card book & colored pens. Thank you! Stay on your assignment! You are truly blessed and a blessing!!!

I love this so much!! Especially when you said to say it with feeling because I was able to memorize a chapter in about a week because I would recite it like I was in a poetry slam show. ❤ love, love, love this. Thank you for sharing. Praying all is well with you and may the Lord continue to bless you, your family and your memory.

So encouraging. For the last five years I've been memorizing larger passages of Scripture, but gave it up last year when life was overwhelming. Thanks for the nudge to get back on track.

My top tip to add to these which I’m going to use to help me and my kids to memorise is to record the whole book onto your phone. In your own voice. Record it straight all the way through. Then record it with gaps long enough to repeat the words you’ve just heard. If you do this you will find you start to know the next verse correctly without even trying! Added to the verse by verse method you’ll be flying! - I memorised the whole of 1st Peter as a young teenager this way and am using it to get it fully back again now many years later. The words nevertheless have been in my heart and influenced my life over the years.

Thank you for your video! It has really encouraged me to get back to memorising the scripture again. Like you said, I feel strongly about it not only for all the reasons you laid out but also because I believe there will be a day where there will be no more Bibles. If His word is in my heart no one can ever take the Bible away from me. Thank you again!

Hi Kimcashtate, I was very blessed with your video, I just got my copy of His WORD in my Heart, and started reading it on the flight from Seattle to Dallas-Ft. Worth, TX. I am not sure ,if you know how strong the Word is coming out the other end of you video ministry is, but it's awesome. I am very skeptical of Church in the Seattle WA, seams a lot of ministers are preaching the Word out of season. But I do know the presents of the Holy Ghost. And that' what I feel when I hear your preaching. May our Lord Jesus Christ bless you and your family. your brother in Christ: Marcus.

I first saw this video a couple of months ago and figured I would give it a try to bring more INTENTION to my Bible verse memorization. While I had quite a few well known verses memorized, I wanted to bring more scripture into my memory. I used some of your techniques (the spiral notebook is golden!!!!) and in the last 2 months I have memorized soooo much more scripture!!! Your technique has really worked for me and has helped me in my prayer time as I like to pray scripture. Thanks for this video. God Bless you.

Thank you!! I came across this video because I’m having a hard time memorizing my first book, 2 Timothy. I was doing a lot of this but differently. For example, one verse per index card. I think being able to see the previous verses will be more beneficial. I also Like the idea of “acting out” the verses rather than reading them as fast as I can. There’s no wrong way to learn the Word, but it’s been challenging to figure out the best way for me. Again, thank you and know that this video is still blessing others.

I love your passion love your passion for the word of God Thanks for sharing

A true blessing, thank you for sharing your wisdom ! This really encouraged and inspired me to not only memorize verses but also be more intentional about my walk and studying of the word.

I came back to the Lord in February after wasteful years. I came across this video because I had been to hide God’s word in my heart; that it would be a part of me. As you were talking about asking God for a chapter (if I remember correctly), Psalm 139 popped into my head as the chapter to start with. THEN YOU SAID PSALM 139! Wow! Thank you for making the video. It has given hope in something I thought I could never do because I did not know how.

I had a conversation with a sister from church a couple of days ago. We were talking about scripture memorization and how we would love to memorize chapters of God's word. I organically found you teaching these tips today. Look at God! Bless you dear.

Great tips! And I could listen to you read or recite bible versesfor hours... beautiful voice.

These are good concepts. I will try this. The scripture is always something we need more of in our lives. It's something I want more of 💗 I've only done little verses here and there. I really like what you're saying 😌

This weekend I read the verse of the day that was found in 1st John. It was so powerful that I had to read the book of 1 John. Then I read through it 4 times before going to Church..since it just takes 15 minutes. Then I wanted to read it again after Church. It was such a blessing. I wonder if the Lord is wanting this to be my next lesson in prison ministry.

Thank you, that was so encouraging. It has been on my heart for a long time to learn scripture. I tried once before and nothing would stick. Like you said I had no system. I have learnt scripts in the past and assumed it would be easy to apply that to learning scripture, but no! My greatest take away from this was what you said about, "If it's on your heart then the Lord put it there!" That said the tips are good and encouraging too. Thank you again.

Wow. Amazing content. I loved it. Thanks much Kim. Continue to spread the Tips so that we are all able to memorize the Holy Bible. GOD BLESS US ALWAYS.

Thank you Blessed Sister. As I was writing the 9 tips, I was so excited and waiting on the 10th tip :-) I have memorized scripture in the past but not whole books in which you have encouraged me to do. I even use parts of scriptures for passwords to help me. I pray God's continual and most richest blessings to you and your family.

Love this Kim. I've been memorizing for 18 years, just as you say. One chapter at a time. And you have explained this very well -- Memorization actuates an experience in the mind and heart. It makes God's word so real. And then after doing this for years, we actually can remember a verse when talking to someone -- a truth that was put in the heart years before, or maybe just last week. Thanks for explaining the process so well. I remember spending a year and a half on Romans 8. The scripture was so important for what I was going through at the time. It seems that even though it took so long, the transforming power of that chapter was so special. And yes, we may not have full recall of something we memorized 12 years ago, but the experience stays with us.

God Bless you sister! You have inspired me. It is so refreshing to Christians truly cherishing God's Word. Thank you!

Awesome video! I stumbled across it just a little while ago and I'm so glad I did! Last year, I read a book called An Approach to Extended Memorization of Scripture by Andrew Davis and I decided to memorize the book of Titus. I started in November and got through the first 2 chapters before I became pregnant and morning sickness took over lol. I recently started again and even though much of what I previously memorized was foggy, it came back quickly once I became consistent again. My goal is to have it finished by the end of the year. I had to laugh at the tip about saying it with emotion because I was doing that and didn't even realize it! Thanks so much for sharing =)

Hi Kim, I just found this video. Yea, I love it, wow! I have a blog for memorizers. May I use this video on my blog? And thank you for endorsing my book. BTW, I still use the 3x5 spirals. Janet Pope

Thank you so much for posting this. At the age of 51 I decided after all these years of being in church, and only knowing Matthew, Mark, Luke and John, but I really wanted to learn the books of the Bible. So thankful I found you and was able to quickly learn the books of the Bible. You are a treasure.❤

I just realized you wrote this 6 years ago and this is still relevant! Some ladies in my Bible study are using your memorization tips as we study Jude. They’ve almost finished and last night they discussed how the memorization is helping them to better understand the text. I’ve decided to join them but I am starting in Philippians. Thank you for your ministry!

Thank you sister, I have been blessed with your video. Blessings!

THANKS 100, I always had a great passion for the Word, but I was never good at memorizing. Thanks so much for tools....BLESSINGS

I certainly hope so, I always have a trouble of memorizing, thanks for the 9 tips. Bless you

What great wisdom you have shared! Thank you so much for sharing with me. I REALLY needed help, and you have encouraged me in this. Thank you, sister!

You are amazing, insightful and hilarious 😂 I love the role play in the book of John regarding Jesus and the Samaritan woman. Thank you so much for sharing this. I can't wait to elevate my memorization and meditation this way ❤ and by the way I use coloured pens too, I was like atta girl woo hoo! It's not weird 😉...God bless you , you have the gift of encouragement.

Thank you, I loved how your put this all together, it was very inspirational and heart felt reality throughout :)

That was excellent. Most of all, it inspired me to once again memorize a longer passage or book. Thank you.

Thank you all I want is to be closer to God abide in Him consistently

This is simply awesome! I am trying this. So far, I am loving it. Many Blessings to everyone who stands for Him. Also your speech is very clear and awesome, love the way you speak and teach. May He cont to Bless you to help others. I ask He Blesses me to cont to do the same.

you don't even know how these videos ha e helped me. in the last week I have learned the first two verses of Philemon and almost the third. it was so discouraging to try and fail. I would find a verse to learn and it just didn't stick or it would get all tangled up in my brain. the example you gave about acting out the passage as well as learning the verses knowing their context. I was told in elementary school that I have two learning disabilities. you don't even know how much your videos are helping me. Thank you.

I just found your videos and I love them. They are just what I've been looking for. I'm looking forward to FINALLY start studying and memorizing the Bible, like I've wanted to do for a long while.

Bible memorisation is s a wonderful thing and helps us become the type of person referred to in Psalm 1. I have learned Mat 5, 6 and 7 this year and what a blessing it has been to me. I am currently on the sixth section of Ps 119 and am loving having God's word deep in my heart and mind. Thank you for this inspirational video - it is very encouraging indeed and I commend you for you devotion to the Word of God

God bless you , congratulations!

Part 1I have enjoyed Bible memorization for many years so I thought I would pass along something that has helped me a great deal. I noticed that without any real effort I learned the lyrics to many songs I listen to on the radio. So I purchased a copy of the Bible on CDs. For me it is important that I get a version that is not dramatized, since the dramatization implies a particular emotional content that may not be what is actually the authors intent. I copy the chapters of a particular book so that they are all on a single CD if possible and so there is no other book on the CD. This allows me to let the CD run to the end and then start at the beginning again. After listening to the entire book for a few weeks I find that I am able to learn the structure of the book, what the author's purpose is, what principles are being taught, and how the author deals with the objections his audience may raise.See part 2.

This was amazing! Thank you for taking the time to show us how to memorize God's word.

Thank you so much Kim ,you have really inspired me to begin today , what a wonderful fruitful talk, you have re ignited the desire in my heart to memorise The Word

Wow wowowowowow!!! Beautiful!! Jesus you are wonderful!! Thank you sister, greetings from Nazareth Israel

i loved this!! just subscribed.. thank God for you

This is helping me already and i just started to watch this.. Thanks a million.

I love how thorough you are...I love all your videos too!

am trusting God that this will help me....

😂 I thought I was the only one who get into character. I love it be encouraged.

Great practical tips! I haven’t worked on memorizing scripture seriously since I was a kid. The Lord has been prompting me to get back into it. I started with the book of Revelation but kinda feel overwhelmed. I think I’m going to move to a book like Colossians. May the Lord Bless you and keep you and make His face to shine upon you!

I just happened upon your channel and I know it's the Lord! This has been a part of my prayers to find a method of learning to remember the scriptures. I'm so loving the way you have laid it out so plain. I'm going to start this process tomorrow and will rejoice over every verse that I remember, it so amazing to see so many people who desires to memorize scripture; this method seems to be a easy process and thank you for being honest about the process and your insight. May the Lord Bless you for being a light and encouragement to me, God bless 😍!

Do you have a prayer journal. How did you become consistent in prayer? How do you know how to pray.

I listen to the Bible while walking, I wish you were my narrator!! You're so cute!!💞 🙂

So awesome! Love it! It’s a truly a blessing to memorize scripture!❤

Tremendous advice, method, and wisdom in action. How blessed you are to have God's word welded into your brain and heart.

TEACHING & SINGING Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly in all wisdom, teaching and admonishing one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing with grace in your hearts to the Lord. Colossians 3:16 NKJV

Hello, I just came across your video earlier today. It brought back memories as a little girl in Sunday school. The teacher would teach us to memorize whole chapters at a time. Now I am a grown woman, and those scriptures I have learned growing up, seem to stay with me more than the ones I am learning now. Listening to you today, give me a new tool to use, to help me captivate the scriptures to memory again. I have a deep hunger for more​ of God, and this will be a great blessing to me. Thanks again for availing yourself, so that the Lord will use you to be a blessing to others. Shalom, Shalom.

I love this video! So encouraging. My friend sent me this because I am memorizing Ephesians. The way that I review the chapters is : today I will review chpt 1 and then do the current chapter (I just started 6), then tomorrow I review chpt 2 and the current chpt.. The Holy Spirit brings the memorized word to my heart often. It is like stocking the arsenal that the Holy Spirit uses to encourage me, rebuke me, strengthen my faith.

Thank you so much for this video. I'm so glad I found it. A couple days ago I visited an old man from my church with the youth group. He can't read because he has poor eye sight now. It it is amazing to see how he remains in the word and has so much Scripture memorized. He really inspired me to memorize Scripture, and today I find this video in my recommended.

I love, love , love the acting out of the verses. I write a lot but still haven’t remembered what I wrote . You make this so exciting. Plus , I too write with colored pens. I’ve used notebook s , and I have index cards. Will use the cards! I also ordered the book. I am so excited to try your method. Thank you so much, found your video so excited to hear more from you. God bless you! Thanks for sharing!

Thank you for this, sister. God bless.

Thank you so much, Kim. You have blessed and encouraged me more than I can say. God bless you!

So powerful. Makes me want to work more diligently with Sunday School. Having memorized so many passages as I grew up the benefit of that knowledge today is invaluable. Thanks for your posts.

WOW! I love the way you gave examples of #4. These are such great tips.Thanks for sharing with us!

This is the gift that keeps on giving! Thank you!

What a blessing, thank you for sharing and especially for being so detailed. God bless you my sister!

wow! I just started this past year - in Ephesians - about 5 more verses to go 💕

This video really blessed me..I immediately ordered,His Word In My Heart..that book is the best book I ever read my spirit is truly being fed..thanks for sharing.. And I love your teaching..

Wow.... thank you. I've been struggling. Sometimes I get discouraged but I will not fail. Thank you again.

Oh THANK YOU❤❤❤❤ I'm in a "funk" was on cusp of break thru and poof ... went a couple of steps backward. I'm in a small group at church and this week talking about up communication. I think I had a negative experience in the past with scripture memorization. Now it's time to acknowledge it and move forward. This is the GOOD of the internet❤ Thank you again for sharing I have HOPE❤

I love this!!! When you speak words, they are so powerful and they will transform you. Thank you!!!❤️❤️🙏🙏🙏

Great tips! I have used all of these since I was a young child in Awana but have not memorized any verses (much less full books) since graduating high school a few years ago. I recently realized I feel the need to continue this valuable practice both for myself and the children I teach/lead at church, same with personal bible study rather than just daily reading

I just memorized my first chapter in the Bible! God put it on my heart to memorize Colossians Chapter 3. It’s a solid chapter packed with essential guidelines! What inspired me was this: I had remembered the poem: “The Road Not Taken” by Robert Frost over 20 years ago word for word. Till this day, I still remember the entire poem word for word. I thought to myself (back in December of 2019): ‘if I can remember a worldly poem down to the T, then why could I not memorize scripture - the most important Word this world has ever known? I believe it was the Holy Spirit who prompted that thought in me, and so I began my journey of memorizing scripture so that it becomes etched on my heart. ❤️

This is such a blessing! I recently retired and was beginning to get depressed and it was hard for me to adjust. My brother encouraged me to read the Word on RU-vid. I haven't gone public yet but will be any day now. I am going to read the book of John which is very long. I have had a struggle getting it done and have now gotten through the first chapter. It so blessed me when you were saying how you put yourself into the characters, I am getting ready to do chapter two, but I got really into being John the Baptist and Jesus in chapter one. Its taken a long time and the ones I have done are not perfect but I think I may make them public even before they are perfect. I will get better as I go along. Thank you for your lesson about memorization. Just in reading what I have I see how it gets down in my spirit and I love it. I will be checking your other messages out as well. I am not that good at youtube but I am excited. My name is Virginia so be on the lookout for my readings. I am a little nervous about it, but you are a great encourager, thank you and be blessed!

Thank you so much for sharing this aspect of your walk with the Lord. Great tips!

Thank you Kim. I've always wanted to memorize scripture but it has been a struggle. After watching your video I feel encouraged and hopeful. You have some real practical tips get things started. I love how you expressed as time spent with God. I know all things are possible with God gives us the strength. May God continue to bless you!

I just want you to know that I admire how you are detailed in your explanations. You truly show the hands con, not just giving us tips vaguely. You give it more substance.

I came across your video today. Excited to work with your method. Thank you so much for placing this on RU-vid. You rock , girl.

Great help sister. May the Lord Bless you more with your family
