Does the devil know your thoughts if you don't speak them?

That is a question that has been asked for ages. Some feel that the devil knows your thoughts, while most others don't.

Scripture does not give a definite answer on that subject but scripture does indicate that not only the devil but some angelic beings have access to one's mind _ Acts 5:3 Satan filled the heart of Ananias _ Luke 22:3 Satan entered Judas _ Matthew 1:20 -25 an angel came to Joseph in a dream _ Genesis 31:11 an angel of the Lord spoke to Jacob in a dream. One can argue that to have access to one's mine doesn't mean they can read your thoughts.

And there are these scriptures

Job 1:7-12 Satan before God discusses Job and the amount of access he can have to Just.

Ephesians 6:11-16 discusses to put on the whole armor of God and to *quench* the fiery darts of Satan.

James 4:7 tells us to *resist* the devil and *he will flee*.

1st Peter 5:8 tells us Satan is like a roaring lion *seeking* whom he can *devour.*

Revelation 12:10-12 the devil stands before God day and night accusing man, and woe to the inhabitants of the earth the devil has come down.

Scripture is clear - Jesus knew one's thoughts even while in a flesh body Matthew 9:4. To Jesus the spirit was given to him without measure John 3:34.

I believe Satan and certain angels have the ability to read some of someone's thoughts and Satan, being the accuser is allowed to influence those thoughts. I feel Satan and the angelic beings who have access to any thoughts of the minds/hearts of mankind are given a limited measure, unlike God who has full measure. Example what I'm going to eat for breakfast or what type of clothes I'm going to wear any given day isn't something they would need access to or even care about. But the part of the mind our decisions are made against good or for what we know is right, Satan knows our thoughts.

The Bible speaks of familiar spirits. They're basically Spies, that follow people, generations or us. They watch what we say or do, and report to the chain of command.

You can see this in Job 1. Satan spied on Job because Job was a righteous man. I'm sure Job did not know why his life was being destroyed.

But no matter the events, he held onto his faith.

I had to learn early that sneaking around hides absolutely nothing. God is Omnipresent, and Satan and his demons, are invisible. Ephesians 6

However :D. The evil beings Are Not Human. They are outlaws and cannot borrow a Believers body to get around. But they can borrow a wicked human being if they consent; such as witches, warlocks, voodoo practitioners and psychics. Beware of card readers and astrology.

Like Halloween. It's a major "Holy Day" for witches: and call for human sacrifices. (Christmas and Passover too). Keep an eye on your children.

I took my kid roller skating, fall festivals. I gave him 20 dollars to buy any kind of candy he wanted (on the way home). No Halloween candy! He had fun, he had candy, I was relieved.

Francis Hi our adversary cannot read your mind or know what your thinking ahead of time.
