Activity I

Now that you have finished following the Scripture Memorization System audio book and e-

book, it is finally time to put all your knowledge to practice.

Do you remember in Chapter Four-I when you were introduced to the Scripture Memorization

System for the first time? The first crucial step of that system is to train your brain or your mind

to think in terms of pictures. If you can do that, then you are halfway towards achieving your

ultimate goal of being able to memorize Scripture.

Let’s do a brief review. In Chapter Four-I, you were asked to enter a room that you are most

familiar with, which most of the time happens to be—for many of us, at least—our own private

bedroom. Then the Scripture Memorization System instructed you to assign a number to each

item in order from 1 to 10 as you scan the room from left to right while standing in the doorway.

But in this workbook, we’re going to do things a little differently. This time, we will use a

different room from the one you are already most familiar with.

Are you ready? Here goes…

Step 1. Go to any room in your house besides the one you are already most familiar with.

It can be the living room, the kitchen, the garage, or your little brother’s room. Even if

this room isn’t your own private room, you are expected to be at least somewhat familiar

with it, since you more or less enter or do activities in this room every day.

Step 2. Stand in the doorway of the room you have chosen and then, slowly and

mindfully, scan the items in the room starting from your left going to your right.

Step 3. As you scan the items from left to right, take note of each item in succession by

writing them down in the space provided below. Make sure the items are listed in order

as you see them going from left to write, standing from the doorway.

7. ________________________

8. ________________________

9. ________________________

10. ________________________

Step 4. Now take a moment to review the list of 10 items you have just created containing

the order of items in the room from left to right. Make sure to review the list fully and

extensively. Silently in your head, try to recall and then recite each item in the list. If you

make even just one mistake, go back and recite it again from scratch.

Step 5. Now in the space provided below, list down the same 10 items but this time from

bottom to top, or from right to left as they appeared in the room. This is to test if you

have truly memorized the list of items by heart. No cheating!

Step 6. Do the same thing again, but this time the list is in random order. Do not commit

a single mistake and, once again, no cheating!

8. _________________________

Step 7. If you miss even just a single item, go back and review your original list and then

try again from scratch. The catch here is for you to memorize the 10 items in any order,

and be able to list them down again in any order without making a single mistake.

Step 8. Finished with perfect scores? Pat yourself on the back for a job well done! On to

the next activity.

Activity II

Now we shall put the Scripture Memorization System to the test – creating your own Scripture

Memorization System to memorize actual Bible verses.

In the audio book and e-book, you were taught how to use the Scripture Memorization System to

to memorize the Psalm 150, which is relatively short, compared to other verses found within the

pages of the Bible. But this time, in this workbook, you will be challenged to create your own

Scripture Memorization System in order to memorize a much longer section: the first chapter of

the Book of Genesis.

Now this is the reason why it’s very important that you have mastered the previous lesson of

training your mind to think in pictures, because it will surely come in very handle this time.

Let’s begin.

Step 1. If you look at the entire Chapter 1 of the Genesis, you’ve got to admit that it is

pretty lengthy. One way to guide you through the whole process of memorizing it is

taking note of the order in which God created everything in six days (God rested on the

seventh day). By using God’s creations in each day as markers or pegs, it becomes much

easier to visualize the entire first chapter of the Genesis in its entirety.

Scripture Memorization System Workbook

Step 2. On the numbered list below, write down God’s creations for the first six days. The

number represents. Some have been filled up to serve as a guide.

1st day. Day and night

2nd

day. ________________________

3rd

day. ________________________

4th

day. ________________________

5th

day. Birds and sea creatures

6th

day. ________________________

Step 3. Keep reviewing the list until you can recite all the items in it out loud without

committing a single mistake regardless of whether the list is rearranged in ascending,

descending, or completely random order.

Step 4. Recreate your list below, this time in random order. Don’t cheat!

2nd

day. ________________________

1st day. Day and night

6th

day. ________________________

4th

day. ________________________

5th

day. Birds and sea creatures

3rd

day. ________________________

Step 5. The next step is to associate each item on the list to an object, person or place that

would help you recall whatever it is that God created that day, and thus gain an idea of

your exact location within the entire chapter. All of these little things will help you

remember the Bible verses and therefore, eventually, memorize it by heart.

Below each creation is a space where you can write what object, person or place you

wish to associate to God’s creation within a certain day. Again, some have been filled up

to guide you.

1st day. Day and night

� light and darkness; black and white

2nd

day. ________________________

� _____________________________________________________

3rd

day. ________________________

� _____________________________________________________

4th

day. ________________________

� _____________________________________________________

5th

day. Birds and animals

� a giant whale and a talking parrot

6th

day. ________________________

� _____________________________________________________

Step 6. Again keep reviewing the list until you can recite it in its entirety without making

a single mistake, in both ascending and descending orders, or even when mixed up in

random order. Associate the items you attached to each creation to encourage your mind

to think in pictures.

Step 7. Now you are ready to memorize Scripture. Read aloud and memorize the verses

connected to the images in your list. Keep reading and reciting until the words of the

verse have to your heart and mind. For instance, the first item in your list is “light and

darkness; black and white", referring to “day and night”. Genesis 1:1-5 reads: “In the

beginning God created the heaven and the earth. And the earth was without form, and

void; and darkness was upon the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God moved upon the

face of the waters. And God said, Let there be light: and there was light. And God saw

the light, that it was good: and God divided the light from the darkness. And God called

the light Day, and the darkness he called Night. And the evening and the morning were

the first day.”

Do the same for the 2nd

day, the 3rd

day, the 4th

and so on.

It is a bit difficult at first but you need to trust the system, and eventually things will get

much easier as you get used to the Scripture Memorization System over time.

CONGRATULATIONS! You have just successfully memorized your first Bible chapter, and no

other than the first chapter of the Book of Genesis. Continue to put your faith and trust in God

that, along with the Scripture Memorization System, He will guide you as brave forward to learn

the rest of His teachings that can be found within the pages of the Holy Bible.

For your reference, here is Chapter I of the Book of Genesis from the King James Version.

1: In the beginning God created the heaven

and the earth.

2: And the earth was without form, and

void; and darkness was upon the face of the

deep. And the Spirit of God moved upon the

face of the waters.

3: And God said, Let there be light: and

there was light.

4: And God saw the light, that it was good:

and God divided the light from the darkness.

5: And God called the light Day, and the

darkness he called Night. And the evening

and the morning were the first day.

6: And God said, Let there be a firmament in

the midst of the waters, and let it divide the

waters from the waters.

7: And God made the firmament, and

divided the waters which were under the

firmament from the waters which were

above the firmament: and it was so.

8: And God called the firmament Heaven.

And the evening and the morning were the

second day.

9: And God said, Let the waters under the

heaven be gathered together unto one place,

and let the dry land appear: and it was so.

10: And God called the dry land Earth; and

the gathering together of the waters called

he Seas: and God saw that it was good.

11: And God said, Let the earth bring forth

grass, the herb yielding seed, and the fruit

tree yielding fruit after his kind, whose seed

is in itself, upon the earth: and it was so.

12: And the earth brought forth grass, and

herb yielding seed after his kind, and the

tree yielding fruit, whose seed was in itself,

after his kind: and God saw that it was

good.

13: And the evening and the morning were

the third day.

14: And God said, Let there be lights in the

firmament of the heaven to divide the day

from the night; and let them be for signs,

and for seasons, and for days, and years:

15: And let them be for lights in the

firmament of the heaven to give light upon

the earth: and it was so.

16: And God made two great lights; the

greater light to rule the day, and the lesser

light to rule the night: he made the stars

also.

17: And God set them in the firmament of

the heaven to give light upon the earth,

18: And to rule over the day and over the

night, and to divide the light from the

darkness: and God saw that it was good.

19: And the evening and the morning were

the fourth day.

20: And God said, Let the waters bring forth

abundantly the moving creature that hath

life, and fowl that may fly above the earth in

the open firmament of heaven.

21: And God created great whales, and

every living creature that moveth, which

the waters brought forth abundantly, after

their kind, and every winged fowl after his

kind: and God saw that it was good.

22: And God blessed them, saying, Be

fruitful, and multiply, and fill the waters in

the seas, and let fowl multiply in the earth.

23: And the evening and the morning were

the fifth day.

24: And God said, Let the earth bring forth

the living creature after his kind, cattle, and

creeping thing, and beast of the earth after

his kind: and it was so.

25: And God made the beast of the earth

after his kind, and cattle after their kind, and

every thing that creepeth upon the earth

after his kind: and God saw that it was

good.

26: And God said, Let us make man in our

image, after our likeness: and let them have

dominion over the fish of the sea, and over

the fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and

over all the earth, and over every creeping

thing that creepeth upon the earth.

27: So God created man in his own image,

in the image of God created he him; male

and female created he them.

28: And God blessed them, and God said

unto them, Be fruitful, and multiply, and

replenish the earth, and subdue it: and have

dominion over the fish of the sea, and over

the fowl of the air, and over every living

thing that moveth upon the earth.

29: And God said, Behold, I have given you

every herb bearing seed, which is upon the

face of all the earth, and every tree, in the

which is the fruit of a tree yielding seed; to

you it shall be for meat.

30: And to every beast of the earth, and to

every fowl of the air, and to every thing that

creepeth upon the earth, wherein there is

life, I have given every green herb for meat:

and it was so.

31: And God saw every thing that he had

made, and, behold, it was very good. And

the evening and the morning were the sixth

day.
