I will answer the question “How To Memorize Scriptures” faster than maybe in any other message, and the answer is, drum roll please, read your Bible and be full of the Holy Spirit. And but also do what it states because this is how the information goes from head knowledge to inner-man or spirit knowledge. 

Your criminal mind, that is your natural mind is at enmity against God and so any type of natural memory techniques is futile. In other words you cannot effectively memorize scripture that will be a benefit to your spiritual walk. The end of this message will bear this out and explain why what I just stated there is true: 

Rom 8:7 - Because the carnal mind is enmity against God; for it is not subject to the law of God, nor indeed can be.

Scripture was not meant to remain in your brain but to drop down into your heart and spirit which are one and the same thing: 

Ez 11:19 - Then I will give them one heart, and I will put a new spirit within them, and take the stony heart out of their flesh, and give them a heart of flesh,

Ez 18:31 - Cast away from you all the transgressions which you have committed, and get yourselves a new heart and a new spirit. For why should you die, O house of Israel? 

So, you see, forgetfulness is satanic and but I am not saying if you cannot remember stuff you are the devil, no what I am saying is that there is a reason why you forget scripture almost right out the gate. Yes, there is a reason why you don’t remember what the Sunday message is no matter how good it was. Have you ever studied for a test only to forget everything you studied? You can blame it on nerves, or genetics, or claim it happens because you have a bad memory, but none of those things are true if you are indeed an authentically born-again believer. I will show you why:

John 10:10 - 10 The thief does not come except to steal, and to kill, and to destroy. I have come that they may have life, and that they may have it more abundantly.
