1. Know and understand who you are in Christ right this minute.
     You are no longer an outsider or a sinner. You are now a child of the living God! You are really a new creature in Christ.

John 9: (Jesus gave us access to God)
31.	We know that God does not listen to sinners; but if any one is God-fearing and a worshipper of Him and does His will, He (Jesus) listens to him.

Ephesians : 2 (Ampl.)
4.	But God! So rich is He in His mercy! Because of and in order to satisfy the great and wonderful and intense love with which He loved us,
5.	Even when we were dead [slain] by [our own] shortcomings and trespasses, He made us alive together in fellowship and in union with Christ. - He gave us the very life of Christ Himself, the same new life which He quickened Him. [For] it is by grace - by His favor and mercy which you did not deserve - that you are saved ( delivered from judgment and made partakers of Christ's salvation ).
6.	And He raised us up together with Him and made us sit down together - giving us joint seating with Him - in the heavenly sphere [by virtue of our being] in Christ Jesus, the Messiah, the Anointed One.
7.	He did this that He might clearly demonstrate through the ages to come the immeasurable (limitless, surpassing) riches of His free grace (His unmerited favor) in kindness and goodness of heart toward us in Christ Jesus.
8.	For it is by grace (God's unmerited favor) that you are saved through [your] faith. And this [salvation] is not of yourselves - of your own doing, it came not through your own striving - but it is the gift of God;
9.	Not because of works [not the fulfillment of the Law's demand], lest any man should boast. - It is not the result of what any one can possibly do, so no one can pride himself in it or take glory to himself.

Ephesians 3: (KJV)
15.	Of whom the whole family in heaven and earth is named (Jesus),
16.	That he would grant you, according to the riches of his glory, to be strengthened with might by his Spirit in the inner man;
17.	That Christ may dwell in your hearts by faith; that ye (you), being rooted and ground in love,
18.	May be able to comprehend with all saints what is the breath, and length, and depth, and height;
19.	And to know the love of Christ, which passeth (passes) knowledge, that ye (you) might be filled with all the fulness of God. (also Luke : 4: 18-19, John 16: 23 - 28)

God is the Good guy and the Devil is the bad guy.

John 10:
10.	The thief (Satan) comes only in order that he may steal and may kill and may destroy. I (Jesus) came that they (you) may have and enjoy life, and have it in abundance -to the full, till it overflows.
11.	I am the Good Shepherd. The good shepherd risks and lays down his (own) life for the sheep (you).

John 14: (Jesus gives us Wisdom)
26.	But the Comforter (Counselor, Helper, Intercessor, Advocate, Strengthener and Standby), the Holy Spirit, Whom the Father will send in My name [in My place, to represent Me and act on My behalf], He will teach you all things. And He will cause you to recall - will remind you of, bring to your remembrance - everything I have told you. (also John 8:12; 15: 26-27; 16: 7-16, James 1: 5 - 7)

Romans 8: (Jesus helps us to pray) (Ampl.)
26.	So too the (Holy) Spirit comes to our aid and bears us up in our weakness; for we do not know what prayer to offer nor how to offer it worthily as we ought, but the Spirit Himself goes to meet our supplication and pleads in our behalf with unspeakable yearnings and groanings too deep for utterance (praying in tongues).
27.	And He Who searches the hearts of men knows what is in the mind of the (Holy) Spirit - what His intent is - because the Spirit intercedes and pleads [before God] in behalf of the saints according to and in harmony with God's will.
28.	We are assured and know that [God being a partner in their labor], all things work together and are [fitting into a plan] for good to those who love God and are called according to [His] design and purpose. Read more...  Sourced from:  http://www.applesaucekids.com
