There is one spirit of error Legion and one Spirit of God, Christ.
Can Satan hear (read) our thoughts?

We show him by not trusting Christ .
Yoked with Christ our daily suffering of hell is made lighter with a future hope beyond one's last breath .
We pray give us this day our daily bread to strengthen these bodies of death suffering the pangs of hell .
Satan who has no power of his own . . he was not created but as a lying spirit pretended to be the creator as if he was created .
He as Lucifer was to protect the glory of our unseen God not usurp it.
He has no will of his own other than murder all flesh, he hates mankind a creation he loves to create false pride.
1 John 2:16 For all that is in the world, the lust of the flesh, and the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life, is not of the Father, but is of the world.

He doesn't have to. We TELL HIM WHAT THEY ARE every time we open our mouths. All he has to do is "listen" to our conversation, to find out where our "Buttons" are.

He is the father of lies everytime we open our mouths and lie he is behind it .John 6:44 a murder from the beginning putting his lying words in the mouth of a cain just as he did with the serpent before his legs were cut off.
He tells the lies. . some believe him and pass it on as a oral tradition .
Genesis 4: 9 And the Lord said unto Cain, Where is Abel thy brother? And he said, I know not: Am I my brother's keeper?

Can Satan hear (read) our thoughts?
'Now there was a day when the sons of God came
to present themselves before the LORD,
and Satan came also among them.
And the LORD said unto Satan, Whence comest thou?
Then Satan answered the LORD, and said,
From going to and fro in the earth, and from walking up and down in it.
And the LORD said unto Satan, Hast thou considered my servant Job,
that there is none like him in the earth, a perfect and an upright man,
one that feareth God, and escheweth evil?
Then Satan answered the LORD, and said, Doth Job fear God for nought?
Hast not thou made an hedge about him, and about his house,
and about all that he hath on every side?
thou hast blessed the work of his hands, and his substance is increased in the land.
But put forth thine hand now, and touch all that he hath, and he will curse thee to thy face.
And the LORD said unto Satan, Behold, all that he hath is in thy power;
only upon himself put not forth thine hand.
So Satan went forth from the presence of the LORD.'
(Job 1:6-12)
' In all this Job sinned not, nor charged God foolishly.'
(Job 1:22)
* As you can see, @lentz, Satan did not know how Job would respond: He is the Accuser of the brethren, who accuses them before God day and night: but we have an Advocate before the Father, at His right hand, the risen Lord Himself.

'Yet Michael the archangel,
when contending with the devil
he disputed about the body of Moses,
durst not bring against him a railing accusation,
but said, The Lord rebuke thee.'
(Jud 1:9)
Hi @lentz,
As you can see from the passage in Job that I quoted in reply#26, and by the verse from Jude quoted above, the devil is a spiritual being, also called the Prince of the power of the air (Ephesians 2:2). He is a being of rank and distinction in the spiritual sphere, and if the Archangel Michael would not accuse him, but left that to God to do, then I think we can see that he is a being of power and authority. Jude 1:8 condemns those who, 'speak evil of dignities', referring to spiritual beings, it is worth reading.
The Lord Jesus Christ has been raised far above all power, might and dominion, and every name that is named, and we in Him: so we have nothing to fear where Satan is concerned.
Thank you
In Christ Jesus

I would agree, many from my experience are still waiting for a sign they seek after. The of the revealing of man of sin (mankind ) (2 Thessalonians 2:3 ).
Some are assuming one man, Hitler or Pope. etc And not the spirit of lies the antichrist through many (antichrists) men plural . . .again another teaching authority other that as it is written in the book of prophecy the Bible
The father of lie has been revealed, the falling away came during the three day and night promised demonstration Many Jews that were hoping thier flesh could profit had believed the lie of the spirit of lies the antichrist .(Satan)
When the veil was rent from the top to the bottom by the hand of God .There was no Jewish King of kings sitting in the Holy of Holy . Satan could no longer deceive all the nations of the world God is a Man.
God used Peter as one of the many many antichrists to show how the deceiver works . Satan the one spirit of the many antichrists (another teaching authority) other than the writen word of God. He worked in Peter giving him words to rebuke God the Lord .
Peter was forgiven his blasphemy against the Son of man, Jesus. Blasphemy against the Father, Holy Spirit not seen . . .cannot be forgiven .
The Son of man Jesus had no power of his own as a prophet sent with prophecy The father gave Jesus words to rebuke the father of lies Saying in effect "get behind me not seen , walk by faith." Not Peter who has no power of his own as the temporal dying things seen
2 Thessalonians 2:3 Let no man deceive you by any means: for that day shall not come, except there come a falling away first, and that man of sin be revealed, the son of perdition
Mathew 16 :22;23 Then Peter took him, and began to rebuke him, saying, Be it far from thee, Lord: this shall not be unto thee.
But he turned, and said unto Peter, Get thee behind me, Satan: thou art an offence unto me: for thou savourest not the things that be of God, (not seen) but those that be of men.(seen)
Simply lying spirits that have no form . . no power to create .Only God can say. . "let there be rudiments" and "it was God good" . . . Never did have form never will . Whether its human flesh or the most beautiful of all the creatures in the garden a legless serpent who cannot walk with God . The spirit of false prophets, false apostles. The one spirit of many antichrists' false teachers

Just a couple more comments:
Expanding on post #5, in 2 Corinthians, we learn that Satan can blind the mind, thus he certainly knows something about how the mind works:
In whom the god of this world hath blinded the minds of them which believe not (4:4)
The word "dignities" is doxa, meaning "honor, praise, worship, good opinion and judgement." It has nothing to do with spiritual beings, but is speaking of "filthy dreamers" who trash all things good.

lucifer who has no form a spirit of God sent to protect the glory of Creation from mankind denying it belongs to a God not seen.
The spirit of lies took a opportunity to spread his lie in so much that he was the creator of the glorious creation Putting his word in the most beautiful creature a serpent . In effect saying; Look to me the Creator why would you believe in a God not seen , surly he lied you will not die.
1 John 2:16 For all that is in the world, the lust of the flesh, and the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life, is not of the Father, but is of the world.

Lucifer was created with perfect logic and absolute free will. Don't worry about what Satan's thought processes and motives were, you're not nearly as pristine as he was when God made him.

I tried understanding your thought here, maybe comma’s weren’t in place or something,but I don’t quite catch the gyst of what you are saying
Active
I see what you are saying,but the question arises,….what is to keep it from happening again,over and over? If what you say is true,and I can’t prove it’s not, there are legions of other angels in heaven who might want to go astray
Active
You've probably told him what your thoughts are when you speak, many times.

Only way that could happen would be if I spoke out loud I was going to willfully sin against God to someone. That won’t happen.
Does it happen with you?
