Episode: 03 – Maria Vadia- Rise Up, Dry Bones
In this high-energy and prophetic session, renowned author and speaker Maria Vadia delivers a stirring call to the “Pew Potatoes” of the Church to wake up and embrace their identity as a “Kingdom of Priests.”
Drawing from the powerful imagery of Ezekiel 37, Maria explores the valley of dry bones—a humanly impossible situation—and demonstrates how the Word of God and the Holy Spirit can bring dead things back to life.

Maria shares her radical transformation from a materialistic “Sunday Catholic” to a missionary traveling to over 30 nations.
With her signature wit and boldness, she challenges listeners to stop acting like “orphans” and start living as sons and daughters of the King, equipped with the dunamis (miraculous power) of the Holy Spirit to heal the sick, cast out demons, and even raise the dead.
Key Takeaways
- The Power of the Tongue: We carry the power of life and death in our speech. Maria reminds us that the Kingdom is “voice-activated”—we must stop grumbling and start prophesying the Word.
- Renewing the Mind: While our spirits are reborn at baptism, our minds must be manually “reset” through Scripture to dismantle the “House of Lies” built by the enemy.
- Normal Christianity: Miracles, signs, and wonders aren’t just for the saints of old; they are the standard credentials for every believer today.
- A New Perspective: We are seated in “heavenly places” (Ephesians 2:6). When we look down from the throne room, every problem is under our feet.
Memorable Quotes
