This year’s theme is “Holy Fire” The Holy Spirit is the source of new life and change; He is God’s permanent presence with us. Maria Vadia, our guest speaker is an International Evangelist and Missionary anointed by the Grace of God with gifts of healing and prophecy with amazing testimonies of signs and wonders in healing, spiritual awakening and financial prosperity, some from our own city, Austin. MARIA VADIA-Guest speaker Born in Havana, Maria Vadia was 10 years old when she and her family fled to Miami to escape the Communist regime in her native country. She attended Catholic schools and was a “Sunday” Catholic with no personal relationship with the Lord Jesus Christ. Later married to a wealthy man, she was gripped with materialism; yet in the midst of everything that the world had to offer, she knew that something was missing. Maria was baptized in the Holy Spirit in 1987 and consecrated her life to the Lord Jesus Christ and to the preaching of the Gospel. In spite of great adversity, the Lord has been with her like a “Mighty Warrior” (Jeremiah 20:11) Active in the Catholic Charismatic Renewal of the Archdiocese of Miami, Maria has spoken at many conferences and has travelled extensively around the world including America, the Caribbean, Malta, Ghana, Uganda, Tanzania, Zimbabwe, Indonesia, New Zealand, Canada, India, Poland and Italy, among other nations, bringing a message of faith, salvation and healing. She is Founder of the “Jesus is Lord” Chapter of Magnificat in Miami, a ministry to Catholic women, and is connected with Glory House of Miami, a safe haven for human traffic victims. Led by the Holy Spirit, Maria’s foundation is helping the Pygmies with new houses in Kabale, Uganda. As Founder of The Glory of God Foundation, Maria is committed to making Jesus known to the nations by the preaching of the Gospel in the power of the Holy Spirit. It is her desire to see the Catholic Church restored to the beauty of the Bride of Christ with miracles, signs, and wonders. Maria and her team, have been helping God’s people enter into deeper worship and experience the Glory of God. Together with Fr. Tom di Lorenzo she sponsors the School of the Holy Spirit and Days of Glory conference. Maria has authored eight books: “There is Power in Your Tongue”, “Pressing on in The Spirit”, “An Arrow in His Hand”, “Healing is for You”, “Break Open Your Wells”, “Victory in the Eye Gate”, “No More Orphans” and her new release in Feb 2015 “Jesus, Man of War” Maria is a worshiper, in her new book Jesus, Man of War! His Victory for those who Praise Him! She teaches how to use our spiritual weapon of praise in Jesus to release His presence. Most people don’t know that the high praises of God are a powerful weapon against the enemy forces and demonic strongholds we face in our lives. The Enemy has kept most of God's people in a state of deception and sleep when it comes to praise, while lives don't change, victory is not experienced, bondage remain and evil keep s advancing. It is time to wake up! It is time to stop complaining. It is time To start praising God as He deserve and He likes. start releasing the high praises of God. As you do the rivers of living water will start flowing from deep within you, through you and out into your atmosphere. He lives inside you and is released through your high praises. This means when the Lord hears the sounds of praise, He shows up to intervene, defend, save, rule and Reign! He shows up to heal, deliver, set captives free and restore! This is Kingdom lifestyle! On earth as it is in Heaven. With the Holy Spirit we can live our lives wrapped in the praises of our God, experiencing the blessing of an open heaven. She is mother to four grown children: Ricky, Victor, Eddy, and Rosario, and grandmother to seven: Victoria, Alejandra, Eduardo, Micaela, Guillermo, Andrea, and Lulu (Luisa Maria).
