“Satanic Thoughts”

Categories: RELATIONSHIPS, SATAN
Can Satan read our minds?  Does Satan read our thoughts?  Is he capable of knowing what we are thinking?  Thank You!

Sincerely,
What Am I Thinking Right Now?

Dear What Am I Thinking Right Now,

Satan cannot read your mind, but he can attack your mind.  The devil is exceptionally cunning and wiley (Eph 6:11).  He uses his trickery to deceive us, but he doesn’t know your inner thoughts.  On certain occasions, the devil has placed thoughts within minds (Jhn 13:2), but he cannot see into our hearts.  If the devil could read minds and hearts, he never would have wasted time tempting Jesus (Matt 4:1).

God is the only one to be noted to have the ability to see into our hearts (Acts 1:24) and read our minds (Lk 11:17).  Aside from God, the only one who knows your mind is you (1 Cor 2:11).  The devil may be very clever… but he doesn’t know the depths of your soul.
