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.

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!

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.

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.
