Jesus Christ emphasized the power of the word; "By thy words thou shalt be justified and by thy words thou shalt be condemned," and "death and life are in the power of the tongue." So man has power to change an unhappy condition by waving over it the wand of his word. I n the place of sorrow appears joy, in the place of sickness appears health, in the place of lack appears plenty. For example: A woman came for a treatment for prosperity. She possessed just two dollars in the world. I said: "We bless the two dollars and know that you have the magic purse of the Spirit; it can never be depleted; as money goes out, immediately money comes in, undergrace in perfect ways. I see it always crammed, jammed with money: Yellow bills, green bills, pink checks, blue checks, white checks, gold, silver and currency. I see it bulging with abundance!" She replied: "I feel my bag heavy with money," and was so filled with faith that she gave me one of her dollars as a love offering. I did not dare refuse it and see lack for her, as it was important that I hold the picture of plenty. Shortly aferwards she was made a gift of six thousand dollars. Fearless faith and the spoken word brought it to pass. The affirmation of the magic purse is very powerful, as it brings a vivid picture to the mind. It is impossible not to see your purse or wallet filled with money when using the words, "crammed, jammed." The imaging faculty is the creative faculty and it is important to choose words which bring a flash of the fulfillment of the demand. ThinkBanc ‘Practical Approach’ Series Page 5 copyright 2007 Antonio Thornton www.antonioblog.com Never force a picture by visualizing; let the Divine Idea flash into your conscious mind; then the student is working according to the Divine Design. Jesus Christ said: "Ye shall know the Truth and the Truth shall make you free." This means that man must know the Truth of every situation which confronts him. There is no Truth in lack or limitation. He waves over it the wand of His Word and the wilderness rejoices and blossoms as the rose.

Strip away the sapwood and get to the heart of the matter. E ai ki te rangahau, ko te wheako wairua kawa o te iwi taketake huri noa i te ao ki roto i ngā kura he taero a Kupe mō te anga whakamua. E arotahi pū ana tēnei kaupapa rangahau ki te ahuatanga me tōna hāngai ki te iwi Māori. I whakawhiti kōrero mō te whakawhanaketanga o te akoranga Māori mai i ngā rautau o mua tae noa ki tēnei wā tonu. Mai rāno, kāore anō te nuinga o te iwi Māori kia eke ki tōna taumata nā te pēhitanga kia noho teina tonu ai ōna ake hiahia ki ngā kura. Nā reira he mea nui kia āta wherawhera ai i ngā rangahau me ngā āhuatanga ako ki te rapu he rongoā kia whakatika ai i aua hē. I whakaae katoa mātou, he kura pounamu ngā momo āhuatanga katoa o te ao mātauranga. Heoi anō, kei tawhiti te ekenga panuku, te ekenga tangaroa mō te iwi Māori kei ngā kura. Ki a mātou he hiahia anō tō te Kāwana kia whakarite ai i ngā rautaki me ngā kaupapa hei whakatika i ngā raru kia tū ai mō te roanga o te wā, i runga anō i te whakaae o ngā tāngata katoa. I kōrero hoki mō te rautaki mātauranga, arā, ko Ka Hikitia. Me raweke tonu kia hāngai tōna wairua ki tō te hiahia o ngā kaiako, kia puta ai i tōna ihi me tōna wehi hei ārahi, hei whakaawe i te tukunga. E tika ana tēnei whakataukī hei ārahi, hei arataki i te Kāhui Rangahau. He taumaha te mānuka kua takotohia. Ki te whakapono ngā kaiako o Aotearoa nei ki te whakaaro rangatira, ki te riro i ngā ākonga Māori he akoranga me tōna kounga tika, kia ārahi ai i a ia ki te eke ki tōna taumata, me timata i nāiatonunei. Tēnei te maioha nā te Kahui Rangahau ki te Tumuaki o Te Mana Arotake me ona kaimahi nei mō tōna whakarite i te wāhi kōrero hei whakahihiko i te wairua. Ko te tumanako kia ngātahi ai tātou mō ngā tau e rima e heke mai ana. 3 Foreword Research shows that peoples of indigenous cultures are more likely to experience the enduring effect of educational under-achievement as a barrier to progress in life. The concern of this project is specifically to address this issue as it relates to Māori. We discussed the evolution of Māori education through the decades and into the present. From years ago to the present, many Māori continue to be deprived of educational opportunities that directly affect their future prospects and quality of life because of inequalities and inequities in our schools. It was important, therefore, to examine the research and practices that have tried to “put matters to right”. We reached the consensus that education in all its forms is highly valued by Māori. Yet Māori experiencing success at school has been, for too many and for too long, an elusive imperative. Our understanding of the current public sector mood is that the problem needs to be urgently addressed, with policies and practices put in place to ensure resolution that is durable and acceptable to constituent parties. We discussed whether the Ministry of Education’s Strategy, Ka Hikitia, should be styled in such a way that it resonates more effectively with the sector, to make it a more influential part of that process. We thought the whakataukī above is an encapsulation of how the Project Group ought to proceed in this matter. The challenges are tough.
