Step 3: Long Term Bible Memory
Many people forget about long term Bible memory. If you've put the work into memorizing a Bible passage, you might as well put in just a little more work, and be able to recite it at anytime, anywhere, with great ease. Sound too good to be true? It may be easier than you think.
Long term Bible memory is actually pretty simple. Here's how it works. The first step is to memorize the passage, which you probably already did. The second step, is to not recite that passage for a few days. Then, recite the passage to a friend or family member, as they follow along in their Bible. Take note of each mistake you make, even if it's a difference of singular or plural.
You'll probably be surprised that you even made a few mistakes. But don't worry about it. Just read the Bible passage over to yourself again, putting special emphasis on the parts where you made a mistake. Then say it to a friend or family member until you make absolutely no mistakes.
Finished? Not quite. Let it set for a few weeks. Then come back again, and do the same thing - recite the passage to someone, correct any mistakes, and let it set for a while. Then come back to it again later.
After you go through that process over a period of several months, you will have the skill of long term Bible memory mastered. Congratulations! Amaze yourself as you effortlessly recite that passage to anyone at anytime. You've done an excellent job!
