supernatural ━╋ father charlie mayhew

★̶̲ a/n. this is short, fluffy & smutty <3 (also new filter woohoo!) warnings. ꗃ blasphemy ･ slight worshipping ･ charlie has a big dick (surprise...) ･ masturbation ･ handjob ･ heavy religious imagery ･ blowjob ･ father charlie & reader being in love <3 wc. 959

"ephesians, 6:12", charlie's voice filled the room, rough and demanding. you lifted your gaze, looking up at him through your lashes while stroking his cock in both of your hands. your mind was empty, but you tried your best to focus ⎯ it was hard when all you could think about was his hot, leaking length just in front of your face.

"i⎯ i'm not sure", you babbled, at which charlie rolled his eyes, irritated. you bit your lip anxiously, stopping the movements of your hands altogether.

"i never told you to stop, angel", he cooed, brushing his thumb against your cheek lovingly. "focus".

it was pure torture; the way your innocent eyes met his, the way your hands moved slowly over his thick, long cock ⎯ the way it casted a shadow on your pretty, angelic face that seemed to glow in the darkness of his office.

"for do we not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rules of the darkness of this age, against spiritual hosts of wickedness in the heavenly places", you chanted, and charlie's chest swelled with pride. he sent you a sweet smile, nodding slowly, leaning back against the chair. "indeed, my dear", he whispered, and your lashes fluttered at the praise. with a newfound confidence, you swiped your thumb against his angry, leaking tip, earning a low moan from the priest.

"good girl", he cooed, and you moaned softly, putting one of your hands on his thigh, your long nails digging into his skin deliciously. "so good for me, so obedient. you've been made for me, haven't you?".

you nodded, beginning to stroke him faster ⎯ though it wasn't that easy when you only used one hand.

"corinthians, 6:18-20", he raked his fingers through your black, silky hair, and you leaned into his touch, swiping your thumb against his strong thigh soothingly. charlie's muscles tensed under your touch, and his cock twitched when he took in your focused expression. his other big hand replaced your own, as he began to stroke his cock swiftly right in front of your face. charlie melted into the chair, eyes threatening to close, sick satisfaction spreading across his body at the sight of you on your knees for him ⎯ almost worshipping his cock with only your eyes.

"flee from sexual immorality. all other sins a man commits are outside his body, but he who sins sexually sins against his own body", you whispered. your knees dig into the wooden floor painfully when you leaned closer, running your hands across his abs, sighing at the feeling of his muscles clenching under your skin. "do you not know that your body is a temple of the holy spirit, who is in you, whom you have received from god? you are not your own; you were bought at a price. therefore, honor god with your body". you finished, biting your lip when you met his proud gaze.

"tell me how much you love me", charlie demanded, although you could hear a slight desperation in his voice. he slowed down the movement of his hand, his chest heaving with uneven breaths.

"i love you, i love you so much, charlie", you didn't hesitate for a second, pressing soft kisses on the inside of his thigh. your hands travelled up his stomach, tracing the outline of his muscles with your fingertips. the priest groaned, his brows furrowing when he felt your touch and lips on his hot skin. the veins in his arm popped out when he stroked himself, looking deep into your eyes, biting his bottom lip hard enough to draw blood.

"please, charlie⎯ let me make you feel good. let me worship you", you whispered, sticking your tongue out for him to see. "let me show you how much i love you".

father charlie's hand in your hair tightened, and you whined in pain and pleasure; you met his eyes yet again, lowering your head to press a kiss on his pretty, thick tip.

"god, help me", the priest cried out, his hips bucking involuntarily, at which you smiled softly. encouraged by the sounds leaving his mouth, you swirled your tongue around his tip, dipping it into the slit experimentally. you closed your lips around him, beginning to bob your head, pressing your tongue against the pulsing vein on the underside of his dick.

"you're such an angel. always so good f'me", he praised, bucking his hips into your mouth. a whine left your mouth at his words, as you used your hand to jerk off parts of him you couldn't take in your mouth. "fuck, i love you. i love you so much", he chanted, and you opened your eyes to look up at him, the innocence of your gaze combined with the hollowing of your cheeks on his girthy length ⎯ it was almost too much for the priest to take.

with a groan of your name, his back arched off the chair, spurts of his cum landing on your tongue and in the back of your throat. you continued to bob your head, swallowing around him, moaning at the taste.

when you finally pulled away, charlie fell limp against the chair ⎯ you licked your lips, fighting to catch your breath.

"there is no fear in love. but perfect love drives out fear, because fear has to do with punishment.", you whispered softly, getting up from your knees. charlie fixed his pants before pulling you onto his lap, wrapping his arms around you lovingly. you leaned back against his chest, feeling safe in his warm embrace. the priest pressed soft kisses all over your face. with a smile, he mumbled: "the one who fears is not made perfect in love".

If you haven’t figured it out already, we are in a battle, and you my friend are called to be a warrior. God hasn’t left us alone to fight this battle alone. God positioned us, because we as Faithful followers, know the battle was ultimately won at the cross. Yet UNTIL we see Jesus, we're to "fight the good fight" everyday with valiant faith. He provided for us the weaponry for this battle.

��🏼✝️Saint Michael the Archangel, defend us in battle, be our protection against the malice and snares of the devil. May God rebuke him we humbly pray; and do thou, O Prince of the Heavenly host, by the power of God, thrust into hell Satan and all evil spirits who wander through the world for the ruin of souls. Amen.

“O Glorious Prince of the heavenly host, St. Michael the Archangel, defend us in the battle and in the terrible warfare that we are waging against the principalities and powers, against the rulers of this world of darkness, against the evil spirits. Come to the aid of man, whom Almighty God created immortal, made in His own image and likeness, and redeemed at a great price from the tyranny of Satan.

Fight this day the battle of the Lord, together with the holy angels, as already thou hast fought the leader of the proud angels, Lucifer, and his apostate host, who were powerless to resist thee, nor was there place for them any longer in Heaven. That cruel, ancient serpent, who is called the devil or Satan who seduces the whole world, was cast into the abyss with his angels. Behold, this primeval enemy and slayer of men has taken courage. Transformed into an angel of light, he wanders about with all the multitude of wicked spirits, invading the earth in order to blot out the name of God and of His Christ, to seize upon, slay and cast into eternal perdition souls destined for the crown of eternal glory. This wicked dragon pours out, as a most impure flood, the venom of his malice on men of depraved mind and corrupt heart, the spirit of lying, of impiety, of blasphemy, and the pestilent breath of impurity, and of every vice and iniquity.

These most crafty enemies have filled and inebriated with gall and bitterness the Church, the spouse of the immaculate Lamb, and have laid impious hands on her most sacred possessions. In the Holy Place itself, where the See of Holy Peter and the Chair of Truth has been set up as the light of the world, they have raised the throne of their abominable impiety, with the iniquitous design that when the Pastor has been struck, the sheep may be scattered.

Arise then, O invincible Prince, bring help against the attacks of the lost spirits to the people of God, and give them the victory. They venerate thee as their protector and patron; in thee holy Church glories as her defense against the malicious power of hell; to thee has God entrusted the souls of men to be established in heavenly beatitude. Oh, pray to the God of peace that He may put Satan under our feet, so far conquered that he may no longer be able to hold men in captivity and harm the Church. Offer our prayers in the sight of the Most High, so that they may quickly find mercy in the sight of the Lord; and vanquishing the dragon, the ancient serpent, who is the devil and Satan, do thou again make him captive in the abyss, that he may no longer seduce the nations. Amen.

V. Behold the Cross of the Lord; be scattered ye hostile powers.

R. The Lion of the tribe of Judah has conquered, the root of David.

V. Let Thy mercies be upon us, O Lord.

R. As we have hoped in Thee.

V. O Lord, hear my prayer.

R. And let my cry come unto Thee.

Let us pray.

O God, the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, we call upon Thy holy Name, and as supplicants, we implore Thy clemency, that by the intercession of Mary, ever Virgin Immaculate and our Mother, and of the glorious St. Michael the Archangel, Thou wouldst deign to help us against Satan and all the other unclean spirits who wander about the world for the injury of the human race and the ruin of souls. Amen.”

Ephesians 6:12 (NKJV) - For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this age, against spiritual hosts of wickedness in the heavenly places.

[thesynaxarium]

Today, on the fourth Sunday of Lent we celebrate the Venerable John, Abbot of Sinai and author of the Ladder of Divine Ascent (or the Climacus). This indispensable book stands as a witness to the great effort needed for entrance into God’s Kingdom (Mt.10: 12). The spiritual struggle of the Christian life is a real one, “not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers of the present darkness the hosts of wickedness in heavenly places” (Eph 6:12). Saint John encourages the faithful in their efforts for, according to the Lord, only “he who endures to the end will be saved” (Mt.24:13). The troparion of Saint John is chanted by St. Kassiani Antiochian Archdiocese Choir of Australia. May he intercede for us always + #saint #john #ladder #ladderofdivineascent #johnclimacus #climacus #book #lent #greatlent #kingdomofheaven #God #easter #pascha #journeytotheresurrection #resurrection #sinai #abbot #egypt #orthodox (at Sinai, Egypt) https://www.instagram.com/p/CqOiHccjGm9/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

i don't even deserve...

the best that life can offer if i wanted it or valued having it at this point in my life. i should appreciate the fact that heaven one day will offer the best that heaven and the afterlife can offer! The Trinity deserves the best in either one for i don’t wrestle against principalities, against rulers of the darkness of this age, against spiritual hosts of wickedness in heavenly places…

  SPIRITUAL VICTORY BEHIND ENEMY LINES

Ephesians 6:12 -- "For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this age, against spiritual hosts of wickedness in the heavenly places."

     The reality is that we're in battle.  We're being prevailed against.  Some of us are "losing" in the fight against sin and sickness, disease and death.  Some of us are losing the battle for our kids to know Jesus.  Some of us are battling for our marriages. Some of us are battling against poverty, and the very things that hinder the fulfillment of the prophetic word in our lives.  War wages for the fulfillment of our very divine DESTINIES.

LACK OF KNOWLEDGE

Hosea 4:6 -- "My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge:  because thou has rejected knowledge, I will also reject thee, that thou shalt be no priest to me:  seeing thou has forgotten the law of God, I will also forget thy children."

          This infers that if God's people had knowledge of their Christ identity, of who God is, and of the rights and privileges of their DOMINION -- they wouldn't be destroyed.

     As soon as we become blood-bought believers in the Lord Jesus Christ, we're thrust behind enemy lines, though assured of God's protection.  However, we're also reminded that we operate in an environment of spiritual terrorism.  

".....We know that we are of God, and the whole world lies under the sway of the wicked one" (1 John 5:19).

SPIRITUAL AUTHORITY

John 15:7 -- "If ye abide in me, and my words abide in you, ye shall ask what ye will, and it shall be done unto you."

         Jesus walked in union with His Father.  We too must do the same with Him.  We only have true SPIRITUAL AUTHORITY to the degree that we are abiding in Him.  The angels do not respect us and the demons do not obey us because of who we are, but because of who is in us. 

   ��     The Bible says that the birds of the air come to snatch away the Word of God (Luke 8:5-15).  The birds of the air are the demons that snatch away the Word from a man's heart, but only because a man leaves it out there unprotected.  The devil cannot take away the word from our hearts if we hold it close and protect it through:

         Affirming It Out Loud

         Meditating on It,

         And visualizing it coming to pass in our lives.

THE WORD OF OUR TESTIMONY

Psalm 78:9-11 -- "The sons of Ephraim were archers equipped with bows, yet they turned back in the day of battle.  They did not keep the covenant of God and refused to walk in His law;  they forgot His deeds and His miracles that He had shown them."

          The apostle John wrote, "They overcame him because of the blood of the Lamb and because of the word of their testimony, and they did not love their life even when faced with death." (Rev. 12:11).

         The elements of victory are recounted to us in this passage.  They overcame him by the blood of the Lamb:  This means we no longer are fighting FOR victory, but we fight FROM victory.  Triumph is assured when we enter the battle.

ACTING VIOLENTLY ON THE WORD

Matthew 11:12 -- "Violent men take the Kingdom by force."  

          It is to be understood that our battles are to be the manifestations of His victory.  The ultimate challenge is not the battle itself but the decision to participate.  Notice that the "armor of God" in Ephesians Chapter 6 has no protection for your back.  We are ill-equipped for retreat.

         The shield of faith is our truth and our buckler.  It's the truth of the Word of God, and it's given to every believer to quench the fiery darts of the wicked one (Eph. 6:16).  But it has to be used.  We are to be doers of God's Word.  When we act, the shield moves when we do, even if we don't feel it. 

         1.  We don't have the Sword of the Spirit until the Word has been made real to our spirit.

         2.  We don't have the Shield of Faith until we walk in that faith of our Christ identity.

         3.  We don’t have the Shoes of Peace until we get into the presence of God.

         4.  We don't have the Helmet of Salvation until we have a revelation of Christ's finished work on the cross.

         5.  We don't have the Breastplate of Righteousness until we start thinking like God thinks.

         6.  We don't have the Belt of Truth until the Holy Spirit leads us into an understanding of the truth of scripture.

WE ARE HIS AUTHORITY

Matthew 6:10 -- "Thy kingdom come.  Thy will be done in earth, as it is in heaven.

         God's world collides with the world of darkness, and His world always wins.  Our battle is always a battle for DOMINION -- a conflict of kingdoms.

        God has chosen to work through us.  WE ARE HIS DELEGATED AUTHORITY on planet earth, and prayer is the vehicle that gives occasion for His invasion.  Those who don't pray allow darkness to continue ruling.  The enemy's greatest efforts at deceiving the Church are centered on diluting the purpose and effect of prayer.

“For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this age, against spiritual hosts of wickedness in the heavenly places.” (‭Ephesians 6:12)

[angeltreasure]

I feel like everything’s a mess. Like maybe I’ve betrayed God and what he’s done for me like I’ve failed his test or idk if I was being tested but I just feel so sad and heartbroken and like this time I knew I would never not be so grateful to Jesus for what he did on that cross but like I’m so angry at other Christian’s and catholics who have constantly NOT been Christ like towards others and me also which just spiralled into this low key mess of me being confused and wanting to come away from people in that way. I feel like God saw my heart and how I felt like that but probably was so ashamed of me

Our human life is one big test. He knows you will fail sometimes in sin because that’s our fallen nature. You aren’t expected to be perfect. Only God and Mary were without sin. You know what? God loves you, even when you fall. He loves you with an everlasting love even if you stray, and even for those that don’t love Him. Recognizing we have sinned can be the hardest part, it takes humility to recognize what we did was wrong. It’s never too late to repent. God will not abandon you or reject you. I know it’s hard sometimes watching our own brothers and sisters sin. I see it every single day even on here, believe it or not. It’s an act of mercy to admonish the sinner however, it must be done in a holy way. It’s ok to feel righteous anger, for even Jesus felt that as He flipped the tables over. That anger is justified. Sometimes when we look at all the news and headlines and places around it the evil and sin can be overwhelming, and even have our own brothers and sisters act and talk against us who try to follow God closely. I know what you experience. God is not ashamed of you, He made you and loves you. Turn away from sin. Repent whenever you can, and if you’re Catholic please go to confession when you can. Don’t be afraid of confession or even praying. God is patient. God is kind. God is merciful. God IS love. He waits for His Prodigal Son to return so He can run to him. That’s all of us, we are the Prodigal Son if we have a sincere heart. Remember that I love you and that God loves you. Let’s pray with each other so we can reach our ultimate goal: to become a saint in Heaven.

I can’t promise today or tomorrow will be easy, but offer up all of this in prayer to God. He waits so patiently for you and leaves the 99 to find His little lamb.

The voice you hear that God is mad and ashamed of you isn’t from God, that’s directly from Satan. Whenever you feel the spiritual warfare is tough, pray this:

Prayer to St. Michael the Archangel

St. Michael the Archangel,

defend us in battle.

Be our defense against the wickedness and snares of the Devil.

May God rebuke him, we humbly pray,

and do thou,

O Prince of the heavenly hosts,

by the power of God,

thrust into hell Satan,

and all the evil spirits,

who prowl about the world

seeking the ruin of souls. Amen.

And then whenever you see something in the news or online or offline that upsets you such as anything associated with Pride month (just giving an example), join me as well in the prayer Jesus made:

The Our Father

Our Father, Who art in heaven,

Hallowed be Thy Name.

Thy Kingdom come.

Thy Will be done,

on earth as it is in Heaven.

Give us this day our daily bread.

And forgive us our trespasses,

as we forgive those who trespass against us.

And lead us not into temptation,

but deliver us from evil. Amen.
