The Word of God has power. Speaking scripture privately in prayer or publicly to others is powerful. It strengthens faith. It is important for you to get the word into you.
The easiest way to do this is to write the verses yourself on index cards. If you commit yourself to memorizing, you will soon notice your mind becoming sharper and renewed.
Words matter. There is the question- “which Bible version should I use”. I will not get into the thousand different tangents of arguments. Instead I want to emphasize the power of God working through us.
We are to be filled with the fire of the Holy Ghost. We are witnessing His complete salvation. We strive to operate from a position of holiness gained from prayer, fasting and compassion. We are wielding Biblical scripture in effort to battle the darkness and to prepare the way for new births into His Kingdom.
There is no doubt among many of us who are soldiering on the field that the KJV is heavily anointed. It is beautiful to the ears, and it strongly convicts. Be free to use whatever sword you wish, but our opinion is that the KJV sword is the sharpest.
So again - If you really want to make some major spiritual advancement, then memorize scripture. They will help strengthen your faith and see you through the days ahead.
Some people think they can't memorize scriptures easily. But that is simply not true. Just start by trying to memorize one verse and keep repeating it. After you have memorized one Bible verse, you'll see that it gets easier as you go.
And remember- REPETITION is the law of memory!
Salvation
John 3:3-8 - Jesus answered and said unto him, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God. Nicodemus saith unto him, How can a man be born when he is old? can he enter the second time into his mother's womb, and be born? Jesus answered, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born of water and of the Spirit, he cannot enter into the kingdom of God. That which is born of the flesh is flesh; and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit. Marvel not that I said unto thee, Ye must be born again. The wind bloweth where it listeth, and thou hearest the sound thereof, but canst not tell whence it cometh, and whither it goeth: so is every one that is born of the Spirit.

A little while, and ye shall not see me: and again, a little while, and ye shall see me, because I go to the Father.
Luke 11:10-13 For every one that asketh receiveth; and he that seeketh findeth; and to him that knocketh it shall be opened. If a son shall ask bread of any of you that is a father, will he give him a stone? or if he ask a fish, will he for a fish give him a serpent?Or if he shall ask an egg, will he offer him a scorpion? If ye then, being evil, know how to give good gifts unto your children: how much more shall your heavenly Father give the Holy Spirit to them that ask him?
