Grab your shoe box full of cookies, because on this momentous installment of Sabrina’s Witch Trials, Alex is joined by ace photographer Brayan Casas to dissect the season 2 premiere of Sabrina, the Teenage Witch, “Sabrina Gets Her License: Part 1" (and the little bit that actually happens in it)! When our resident teenage witch learns that 17-year-old witches have to take a test for their witch’s license, will she be able to balance studying with her responsibilities at school and in her relationship with the terribly trimmed Harvey, or will her duties derail her enchanted advancement?! Answers to these and other questions, not to mention a terrifying theory as to how Harvey spent his summer, lies ahead on this edition of Sabrina’s Witch Trials!

“Beyond the Blessing of Abraham”   (Part 1 of 2 parts)             B. Keith ChadwellGen 28:4 (Old Isaac speaking); “And give thee (Jacob) the blessing of Abraham, to thee, and to thy seed with thee; that thou mayest inherit the land.The blessing was passed down the righteous line to the one seedto receive the fullness of “the blessing of Abraham”; which was; Jesus.Therefore as we transition “the blessing of Abraham” we find it’s revelation by the Holy Spirit.   We find Paul, tells us in Galatians 3:14, clearly, why the blessing of Abraham was given: ·        Gal 3:14  That the blessing of Abraham might come on the Gentiles through Jesus Christ; that we might receive the promise of the Spirit through faith.     The “blessing of Abraham” was given, as Paul states in Galatian’s 3:13-14, “that we might receive the promise of the Spirit through faith”.  “The “promise of the Spirit” was given because God knew mankind would not and could not do a work in their own hearts to perfect themselves or make themselves righteous by nature.  Therefore, since Adam’s fall, mankind’s bondage to their Adamic sin nature would continue into perpetuity unless God could save them from this fate          So, through FAITH in Christ mankind would be able to receive the incorruptible Royal Seed of His Holy Spirit to be planted within their hearts (the land).  However, the incorruptible Royal SEED would only be the “earnest” of the full promis          Only after the Royal SEED would be planted could the process of Spiritual growth, unto full maturity in the Spirit begin, even unto the stature and measure of Christ. God’s ultimate goal was; to FULLY manifest His righteousness and His divine nature from within the hearts of His people to family, neighbors and nations.  In this way all the nations of the earth are to be blessed.The growth of the Royal Seed and the full manifestation of “His divine nature” in those who would accept His offer of the promise of the Spirit, would not be an event but rather; a process.  So, the Royal SEED had to be received by FAITH in Jesus and what He had done.  Then, since the Holy Spirit was the only one who could make this happen, the Holy Spirit would, subsequently need to be allowed to, progressively work in believers to change their hearts until the full promise would be manifest. That would be Christ, fully formed in us. Or…“Christ in us; the hope of glory”. FAITH is the substance of “the full promise” that ishoped for. The hope being that; the Royal SEED when planted in the land (heart) was to grow to “the fullnessof the promise of the Spirit”.   So, because we have this hope of the promise and FAITH that God will make this happen, in His time, God counts this FAITH as righteousness in the meanwhile.  This is  the ONLY hope for the descendants of Adam to  ever fully manifest God’s divine nature, from their hearts.  For we are; “the righteousness of God”…but only by FAITH in what CHRIST is doing in us, until the full promise is, FULLY manifest, in fact.       What can we expect?  ·        Short of joining “that great cloud of witnesses” and waiting for another generation of Christians to catch the “vision” of the fullness of “the Promise, what are we to do now? One of the analogy’s that holds the answer in the Old Testament, is the story of Abraham and Sarah and God’s promise of a child, which is well known.  However, this natural analogy’s application to the Spiritual may reveal more to Christians than we might have thought.Abraham and Sarah struggled with their promiseof the child: Isaac (the child of the Spirit).   In the natural it seemed impossible that Sarah could even conceive in her “old age” let alone give birth to this child, promised by God. So, they relied on works of their own flesh which produced; “Ishmael” (the child of the flesh).We, like Abraham and Sarah, have come to rely on "Flesh" to manifest what we could believe for of  “the promise, in lieu of “Faith”. Therefore, for the most part, in one way or another; we Christians have produced an “Ishmael” (the child of the flesh).  This “Ishmael” is the religious product of the seed we have planted. It looks like the real deal, at first, but like “the tares” planted in the parable, it will not produce the harvest of “the Royal SEED”.  We can’t circumvent the law of the harvest; “you reap what you sow”.Look at our Pattern Son, for He was the firstborn of many brethren who were to follow Him and have the Spirit fully formed in them, also. Jesus was born of the Spirit and of the flesh.  Likewise, we who are born of flesh and blood and follow after Him must be “Born again”.  Not of the corruptible seed of Adam, the seed of the flesh, (been there, done that) but rather of incorruptible SEED.  That is; of the Royal Seed of the Spirit of promise.  Born again, of “incorruptible SEED; then to grow and develop “until Christ is formed in us”.·        Mar 4:26-27 And he said, So is the kingdom of God, as if a man should cast seed into the ground; and should sleep and rise night and day, and the seed should spring up and grow, he knoweth not how. ·        John 12:24-25Verily, verily, I say unto you, except a corn of wheat fall into the ground and die, it abideth alone: but if it die, it bringeth forth much fruit. ·        Hebrews 10:36 For ye have need of patience, that, after ye have done the will of God, ye might receive the promise. Like a farmer planting SEED in “the land”; first the Royal Incorruptible SEED is planted, then begins a progressive work by the Holy Spirit working in us. The fullness of our promise is NOT accomplished by any works of our doing right things or trying to think right thoughts through our own efforts.  It is His Royal Seed, we are His land, and It is His work in us.  His “Beulah land”, as it were, It is His “grace” or “divine influence on our hearts” (the land within us). We are instructed to just “REST” and have faith in HIM to do this work in us, UNTILit is completed.  Until Christ is formed in us and His divine nature is always manifest, from our hearts.  Then…”when He shall appear, we SHALL be like Him”. It is the law of the harvest, “you reap what you sow”.Works of the flesh to help God to manifest the fullness of His “promise” …won’t.   The promise of the fullness of the Spirit was and is “yea and amen” but as with the promise to Abraham and Sahah, only through the work of the Spirit. As then, so it is now; it requires FAITH and obedience.  Then, in God’s time, by His work, NOT OURS, the full promisewill be manifest.“For all the promises of God in him are yea, and in him Amen, unto the glory of God by us.  For which cause I also suffer these things. But I am not ashamed, for I know whom I have believed, and I am persuaded that He is able to guard my deposit until that Day.  Hold fast a pattern of sound words which you heard from me, in faith and love in Christ Jesus. Guard the good Deposit given through the Holy Spirit indwelling in us.”     This concludes part 1 of a 2 part series titled; “Beyond the Blessing of Abraham”.Both parts are posted, in full, on the Books/teachings page of the High Country Ministry website; Link to:  “Beyond the Blessing of Abraham, part 2”www.highcountryministry.com~ ~ ~

By Guest Blogger, Nathan Edge This month Nathan Edge discusses the nature and operation of nuclear devices being used in unmanned space operations. As an aside, I can't believe I wasn't the first person to type into Google, "nuclear engine...USS Enterprise"?! Nathan provides links to sites for more information throughout the piece. Anyway, on with the article!-------------------------------------------------Nuclear power isn’t just applicable to terrestrial electricity generation; it has also been used in space travel since 1961 – whereby it is still a tremendous source of potential for propulsion mechanisms. Many well known space vehicles such as the deep space probes Voyagers 1 & 2 – which are over 18,000,000,000 and 15,000,000,000 km from Earth respectively – rely on nuclear power. It is even being used on NASA’s Curiosity Rover, which made a spectacular touchdown on Mars last year.Voyager 2. One of the most distant man-made objects in existence.The popularised spacecraft don’t actually use conventional nuclear reactors. Radioisotope thermoelectric generators (RTGs) - which harness Plutonium-238 as fuel - are the primary propulsion source. These so-called “nuclear batteries” exploit the principle that plutonium undergoes alpha-decay to produce heat. This is subsequently converted in to electricity using thermoelectric generators. Since they have no moving parts, RTGs are very reliable; the RTG on Voyager 2 has worked continuously since 1977, and is expected to continue working until 2025.A general RTG configurationThis is not to say, however, traditional nuclear reactors have not also been used in space operations in the past … albeit with some serious modifications. For example, the Soviet RORSAT satellites used 90% enriched uranium fuel as a power source. The safety implications of using such a system in earth orbit are obvious, and any fears of utilising such a technology are not exactly unfounded. The nuclear-powered Cosmos 954 satellite, for instance, fell into Canada in 1978 after a systems failure, distributing radioactive debris over 124,000 square kilometres. Due to events like these, it is likely that any future reactors will be confined to deep space like RTGs. However, this does not mean that they will only be used for unmanned exploration probes. NASA has its eyes on a manned Mars mission, but traditional chemical rockets would take six to seven months to reach Mars. A 1MW fission reactor powering 100-400 kW electric ion thrusters would take 3 months, thus limiting the health degradation astronauts face on long space journeys.Modern RTGs are designed to survive the possible accidents which could befall it during operation, including propellant fires during launch and land/water impacts. Reassuringly, RTGs cannot explode like nuclear weapons: the plutonium associated with weapons is Pu-239, not Pu-238. A similar safety feature which has been specified for nuclear reactor propulsion tech is that they are not activated until they are confirmed to have reached space successfully. Ultimately, this is to ensure fission fragments and other components of nuclear waste are not present if failure occurs during launch. Space: The future of waste disposal?Lastly, when using an RTG some additional thought must be applied to the disposal of the spacecraft when they come to the end of their working life. This is not just a nuclear issue: it’s important not to disturb any areas which potentially harbour extraterrestrial life. For example the RTG-powered Galileo spacecraft was sent into Jupiter’s atmosphere and destroyed to stop it crashing into a potential ocean under Europa’s crust. The disposal of RTGs and future nuclear reactors actually touch on one of the more outlandish proposals for dealing with nuclear waste: firing it out of the solar system.In short, the space and nuclear industry have a surprising legacy: nuclear power has already been used successfully for near-earth and deep space missions in the past, and its use has continued into the cutting edge-missions of today. Only time will tell whether or not it is the key to future exploration, both manned and unmanned, into our universe.DOCUMENT LINKS (IN ORDER OF APPEARANCE)NASA, 2013 Where are the Voyagers? [online].
