Two years ago I started learning memory verses as a part of the Memory Verse Team that Beth Moore started on her blog. It has been an amazing way to hear God speak to me through His Word. I decided to ask my friends and family if they will join me in learning new verses this year. On the 1st and 15th of each month we will learn a new verse. I have found that telling my friends about my memory verses is a way to help me keep my commitment to learn a new verse every two weeks. Please share your verse with us by commenting on this blog.

Memory Verse for September 15


September 15th Bible Verse
Before I share my verse I wanted to share with you the words to a song from the album, “When the Stars Burn Down” by one of my favorite worship leaders, Travis Cottrell. The title of the song is “Word of God Has Spoken.” I think the lyrics help explain why I really want to encourage you to take this memory challenge and memorize God’s word. Here are the words to the chorus:
The Word of God has spoken
We are changed forever
The power of sin is broken
We are free.
We are running to salvation
We have been delivered
The Word of God has spoken we are free
From age to age Your word will stand
Forever and Amen

There is great freedom in God’s word.

So now my verse for the 15th, it is a continuation of the prayer in Ephesians that I began last time.
Ephesians 3: 17-19
So that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith. And I pray that you, being rooted and established in love, may have power, together with all the Lord’s people, to grasp how wide and long and high and deep is the love of Christ, and to know this love that surpasses knowledge – that you may be filled to the measure of all the fullness of God.

Memory verse for 9/1/11

I decided that I would memorize some verses that have always been my favorites. I have just never memoriezed them.

Ephesians 3:14-16
For this reason I kneel before the Father, from whom every family in heaven and on earth derives its name. I pray that out of his glorious riches he may strengthen you with power through his Spirit in your inner being,
