Visionary Advancement Strategies & the Ricciardelli's Ministry When we cease trying to do what we cannot do, God begins to do what we could never do. This produces fruit for those who are truly placing their lives in the Lord's hands. Our works do not become religious works at all, they are simply the works of Him who lives in us, and is having His way through our lives. Cease the... struggle, surrender to His life, and watch Him come forth powerfully as the world takes notice.
Visionary Advancement Strategies & the Ricciardelli's Ministry Life is precious and filled with vulnerability. We must embrace change, and embrace how vulnerable we really are. In this wonderful life, we are not alone, and have access to guidance, support, and security, from the One who made us and loves us. No matter how powerful or successful we may be, a new born child, and a d...ying elderly can be reminders of how precious each moment is, and how much we need our God.
Visionary Advancement Strategies & the Ricciardelli's Ministry God's presence touches the most hidden parts of peoples souls, and brings healing. You are a Kingdom Priest forever, and your calling to be an instrument of His presence never ends. You are called, you are worthy, and that is forever, even when you do not feel like it. You are His glory on earth. Begin to silence all t...houghts and voices that speak against what the Lord declares about you.
Visionary Advancement Strategies & the Ricciardelli's Ministry Wisdom can come in any moment. We must expect God to reveal things to us throughout each day to learn and grow from. Let's not be afraid to receive each day's gleanings, whether it comes to us as sorrow or joy. It can open a new place in our hearts, a place where our world-view is expanded, and a place where we gain an... increased capacity to receive God's love. We then become powerful conduits of God's love to others.
Visionary Advancement Strategies & the Ricciardelli's Ministry Joy and sorrow never part ways in this life. When our hearts rejoice, we may miss our friends who cannot see joy, and when we are overwhelmed with grief, we may discover true friendship. Joy and sorrow are hidden in each other. If we try everything to avoid sorrow, we may never taste joy, and if we are concerned about ...joy, pain may never be discovered. Joy and sorrow are often the seeds of our spiritual growth.
Visionary Advancement Strategies & the Ricciardelli's Ministry When you look in the mirror, what do you see? What matters most is what the Father sees. Live your life in Fathers view of you, and you will see yourself as the light of God to the world. God has filled you with His essence that influences what others see when they encounter you. In His light, when others encounter you..., they encounter God, and through His presence in you, their lives are enriched and forever changed.
Visionary Advancement Strategies & the Ricciardelli's Ministry Essential to the work of reconciliation is a nonjudgmental presence. We have not been sent to the world to judge, to condemn, to evaluate, classify, or label. When we walk around as if we have figured people out, what is wrong, and how they should change, we only create more division. Nonjudgmental living is birthed fr...om an intimate walk with the Lord, and will be easily recognized by those who long for God's love.
Visionary Advancement Strategies & the Ricciardelli's Ministry So much of our energy, time, and money goes into maintaining distance from one another. We erect many walls of separation, so we can protect, defend, and maintain our privileged position. Imagine more effort and resources being put in the service of peace and reconciliation! There would be less poverty, crimes, wars, a...nd a lot more unity. God imagines, a whole world not only created but also living in His image.
Visionary Advancement Strategies & the Ricciardelli's Ministry When we are free from the need to judge or condemn, we become a safe place. The more we are rooted in the love of God, we become a healing environment for others. When people realize that we have no hidden agenda or unspoken intentions, and that our desire is for peace, healing and reconciliation, they may find freedom... and courage to open their hearts to the miracle that the Lord wants to bring into their lives.
Visionary Advancement Strategies & the Ricciardelli's Ministry One of the hardest things to let go of in life is old hurts. You may have declared it would not be forgiven or forgotten. You cannot do this, but God can. You cannot experience the fullness of freedom, and at the same time hold on to old wounds. Will you choose this day to allow the Lord to expose and dismantle perpetu...al unforgiveness in your heart? You are a new creation in Him, and He will renew your heart today.
Visionary Advancement Strategies & the Ricciardelli's Ministry Reconciliation needs to be ongoing. Think of how often our thoughts and feelings are impacted negatively by those different than us. In that moment an enemy appears in the form of a friend, co-worker, family, or a stranger that has a different lifestyle, thinks differently, speaks differently, or just does not act as w...e like. We need reconciliation in our hearts immediately, to respond in God's love and grace.

Visionary Advancement Strategies & the Ricciardelli's Ministry Our own reconciliation with God must permeate our lives. If we are not thoroughly convinced that we have been reconciled with God, that we are forgiven, that we have received new hearts, new spirits, new eyes to see, and new ears to hear, we continue to create divisions because of false expectations. When we know that ...everything we need is in him, we now are free to set others free in the ministry of reconciliation.
Visionary Advancement Strategies & the Ricciardelli's Ministry You have been designed by Almighty God. Not by chance, but by love. He made you, and is wonderfully making you more like Him. There is no one else like you, and He loves and accepts you as you are. His grace covers all of your needs. You are His plan to reveal Himself on earth. You have purpose that is far beyond what ...you currently can know, and He will guide you to where you should go.
