This is a thread where we get together to memorise the Bible, our Sword.
In kid's church, kids are often encouraged to learn verses but when they grow up and start attending regular preaching there is hardly any push to remember not only new verses but also to keep the old verses in their hearts.
We at Prayer Guardians have discussed this, and thought that a thread where we all get together and commit to memorising Scripture will help each of us not only memorise the Word, but also to help us be an encouragement to others as well as to be prepared for any spiritual attacks that come our way. Afterall, its not exactly a good thing to be in a battle without a weapon handy!
Ephesians 6:17 - Take the helmet of salvation and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God.
Anyway, basically what will happen is that a weekly verse shall be set, and those interested in participating will memorise the verse. If you have trouble remembering things, then Rogie_san's suggestion might be helpful to you:
rogie_san wrote: I would recommend writing the verse down each day until you've got it memorized. Start up a daily journal where you write the verse of the week down and then write an entry about your day, maybe even addressing it to God.
I want to encourage those that do join this to not only remember the verses, but to also think about them and try to apply them to your lives. A sword isn't much use if you don't use it
EDIT:
Here is the list of verses we have learned so far:
WEEK 1
PSALM 119:11 (NIV) -
I have hidden your word in my heart
that I might not sin against you.
WEEK 2
James 4:7-8 (NKJ)
7 Therefore submit to God. Resist the devil and he will flee from you. 8 Draw near to God and He will draw near to you. Cleanse your hands, you sinners]
WEEK 3 + 4
[I]1 Peter 5:5-6
Young men, in the same way be submissive to those who are older. All of you, clothe yourselves with humility toward one another, because,
"God opposes the proud
but gives grace to the humble."
Humble yourselves, therefore, under God's mighty hand, that he may lift you up in due time.
WEEK 5 - 10
Psalm 1:1-5
Blessed is the man
who does not walk in the counsel of the wicked
or stand in the way of sinners
or sit in the seat of mockers
But his delight is in the law of the LORD,
and on his law he meditates day and night.
He is like a tree planted by streams of water,
which yields its fruit in season
and whose leaf does not wither.
Whatever he does prospers.
Not so the wicked!
They are like chaff
that the wind blows away.
Therefore the wicked will not stand in the judgment,
nor sinners in the assembly of the righteous.
For the LORD watches over the way of the righteous,
but the way of the wicked will perish.
WEEK 11
Philippians 4:6
Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God.
WEEK 12
Phillippians 1:9-10
And this is my prayer: that your love may abound more and more in knowledge and depth of insight, so that you may be able to discern what is best and may be pure and blameless until the day of Christ
WEEK 13
2 Timothy 2:20-21
In a large house there are articles not only of gold and silver, but also of wood and clay; some are for noble purposes and some for ignoble. If a man cleanses himself from the latter, he will be an instrument for noble purposes, made holy, useful to the Master and prepared to do any good work.
