Possibly, but not all the sentences you quoted are natural.
Experience "I experience no pain".
That's possible in the right context.
Possess "I possess no hope".
That's not natural.
Try perhaps something like "I possess no formal qualification in this field".
Find "I find no hope ".
That's not natural.
Try perhaps something like "I find no reason to disqualify her as a candidate".
Hold "I hold no money" .
That's not natural.
Try perhaps something like "I hold no grudge against them".
Receive "I receive no help".
That's possible in the right context.
Require "I require no help."
That's possible in the right context.
Present " He presents no evidence".
That's possible in the right context.
 
Let's look at just one.

Renee: Do you need some help carrying stuff?
Ron: Thanks, but I don't need any help.

Experience - "I experience no pain."
Possess - "I possess no hope."
Find - "I find no hope."
Hold - "I hold no money."
Receive - "I receive no help."
Require - "I require no help."
Present - "He presents no evidence."
Note my changes above. You really need to work on your punctuation, particularly the spacing around it. Remember to follow these rules at all times:

Always end a question with a question mark.
Don't put a space after opening quotation marks.
Don't put a space before closing quotation marks.
Don't put a space before a full stop, comma, question mark or exclamation mark.
