But as many as received Him, to them He gave the right to become children of
God, to those who believe in His name; who were born, not of blood, or of the will of the
flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God.
As a disciple, I am a friend of Jesus Christ.
John 15:15
No longer do I call you servants, for a servant does not know what his master is
doing; but I have called you friends, for all things that I heard from My Father I have
made known to you.
I have been justified.
Romans 5:1
Therefore, having been justified by faith, we have peace with God through our
Lord Jesus Christ, through whom also we have access by faith into this grace in which we
stand, and rejoice in hope of the glory of God.
I am united with the Lord, and I am one with him in spirit.
1 Corinthians 6:17
But he who is joined to the Lord is one Spirit with Him.
I have been bought with a price, and I belong to God.
1 Corinthians 6:19-20
Or do you not know that your body is the temple of the Holy Spirit who is in you,
whom you have from God, and you are not your own? For you were bought with a price ;
therefore glorify God in your body and in your spirit, which are God's.
I am a member of Christ's body.
1 Corinthians 12:27
Now you are the body of Christ, and members individually.
I have been chosen by God and adopted as his child.
Ephesians 1:3-8
Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus christ, who has blessed us with
every spiritual blessing in the heavenly places in Christ, just as he chose us in Him before
the foundation of the world, that we should be holy and without blame before HIm, in
love, having predestined us to adoption as sons by Jesus Christ to Himself, according to
tethe good pleasure of His will, to the praise and glory of his grace, by which He made us
accepted in the Beloved. In Him we have redemption through His blood, the forgiveness
of sins, according to the riches of His grace, which He made to abound toward us in all
wisdom and prudence,.."
I have been redeemed and forgiven of all my sins.
Colossians 1:13-14
For he has rescued us from the dominion of darkness and brought us into the kingdom of
the Son he loves, in whom we have redemption, the forgiveness of sins.
I am complete in Christ.

For in Christ all the fullness of the Deity lives in bodily form,and you have been given
fullness in Christ, who is the head over every power and authority.
I have direct access to the throne of grace through Jesus Christ.
Hebrews 4:14-16
Therefore, since we have a great high priest who has gone through the heavens, Jesus the
Son of God, let us hold firmly to the faith we profess. For we do not have a
high priest who is unable to sympathize with our weaknesses, but we have one who has
been tempted in every way, just as we are--yet was without sin.
Let us then approach the throne of grace with confidence, so that we may receive mercy
and find grace to help us in our time of need.
I am secure...
I am free from condemnation.
Romans 8:1-2
There is therefore now no condemnation to those who are in Christ Jesus, who do
not walk according to the flesh, but according to the Spirit. For the law of the Spirit of
life in Christ Jesus has made me free from the law of sin and death.
I am assured that God works for my good in all circumstances.
Romans 8:28
And we know that in all things God works for the good of
those who love him, who have been called according to his
purpose.
I am free from any condemnation brought against me, and I cannot
be separated from the love of God.
Romans 8:31-39
What, then, shall we say in response to this? If God is for
us, who can be against us? He who did not spare his own Son,
but gave him up for us all--how will he not also, along with
him, graciously give us all things? Who will bring any
charge against those whom God has chosen? It is God who
justifies.
Who is he that condemns? Christ Jesus, who died--more than
that, who was raised to life--is at the right hand of God
and is also interceding for us.
Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? Shall trouble
or hardship or persecution or famine or nakedness or danger
or sword?
As it is written: "For your sake we face death all day long;
we are considered as sheep to be slaughtered."
No, in all these things we are more than conquerors through
him who loved us.
For I am convinced that neither death nor life, neither
angels nor demons, neither the present nor the future, nor
any powers,
neither height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation,
will be able to separate us from the love of God that is in
Christ Jesus our Lord.
I have been established, anointed, and sealed by God.
2 Corinthians 1:21-22
Now it is God who makes both us and you stand firm in
Christ. He anointed us,set his seal of ownership on us, and
put his Spirit in our hearts as a deposit, guaranteeing what
is to come.
I am hidden with Christ in God.
Colossians 3:1-4
Since, then, you have been raised with Christ, set your
hearts on things above, where Christ is seated at the right
hand of God. Set your minds on things above, not on earthly
things. For you died, and your life is now hidden with
Christ in God. When Christ, who is your life, appears, then
you also will appear with him in glory.
I am confident that God will complete the good work he started in
me.
Philippians 1:6
being confident of this, that he who began a good work in
you will carry it on to completion until the day of Christ
Jesus.
I am a citizen of Heaven.

Savior from there, the Lord Jesus Christ,
I have not been given a spirit of fear but of power, love, and a sound
mind.
2 Timothy 1:7
For God did not give us a spirit of timidity, but a spirit
of power, of love and of self-discipline.
I am born of God, and the evil one cannot touch me. I am significant...
1 John 5:18
We know that anyone born of God does not continue to sin;
the one who was born of God keeps him safe, and the evil one
cannot harm him.
I am a branch of Jesus Christ, the true vine, and a channel of his life.
John 15:5
"I am the vine; you are the branches. If a man remains in me
and I in him, he will bear much fruit; apart from me you can
do nothing.
I have been chosen and appointed to bear fruit.
John 15:16
You did not choose me, but I chose you and appointed you to
go and bear fruit--fruit that will last. Then the Father
will give you whatever you ask in my name.
I am God's temple.
1 Corinthians 3:16
Don't you know that you yourselves are God's temple and that
God's Spirit lives in you?
I am a minister of reconciliation for God.
Corinthians 5:17-21
Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; the
old has gone, the new has come!
All this is from God, who reconciled us to himself through
Christ and gave us the ministry of reconciliation:
that God was reconciling the world to himself in Christ, not
counting men's sins against them. And he has committed to us
the message of reconciliation.
We are therefore Christ's ambassadors, as though God were
making his appeal through us. We implore you on Christ's
behalf: Be reconciled to God.
God made him who had no sin to be sin for us, so that in him
we might become the righteousness of God.
I am seated with Jesus Christ in the heavenly realm.
Ephesians 2:6
And God raised us up with Christ and seated us with him in
the heavenly realms in Christ Jesus,
I am God's workmanship.
Ephesians 2:10
For we are God's workmanship, created in Christ Jesus to do
good works, which God prepared in advance for us to do.
I may approach God with freedom and confidence.

freedom and confidence.
I can do all things through Christ, who strengthens me.

I would like to deeply thank Kerry for sharing the text of the above with me! This is her list of verses. She came through with them for me in a time of deep distress! Thank you, dear friend!
As I climbed out of the "pit" of depression, I found the Experiencing God study invaluable.
