SignUp Now!'And what is the exceeding greatness of His power
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.

Chances are you've already TOLD HIM YOUR THOUGHTS, so he doesn't have to "Read your mind". And, of course satan DOESN'T TEMPT - the Temptation comes from YOUR LUSTS. ENTICEMENT comes from satan, and it's up to YOU whether you allow your LUST to "Conceive", and birth SIN.I have heard many times he cannot.
How then can he tempt?
If he does not know i am hard up for money,how can he tempt me to rob a bank?
This is exactly my experience.Chances are you've already TOLD HIM YOUR THOUGHTS, so he doesn't have to "Read your mind".
Addressing the opening post:I have heard many times he cannot.

I will write you what Jesus has taught me, so that you may know the inner workings of what you ask. But please for your own sake, do not say anything that could be blasphemous about the Holy temple of God in response, cause the Temple is Holy.I have heard many times he cannot.

andHe cannot read our thoughts, but he sure can hear our voice!
No. For it is written concerning God: Thou only, knowest the hearts of all the children of men.
OF course!! What you have to remember is that satan isn't stupid, and neither are his people. They're privy to your spoken communications, they know what your interests are, what you read, and how you spend your time, what your hobbies are, and how passionate you are about them. They're there when you talk to yourself in private, and in public. They know when you're lying, and when you're telling the truth.AND they know where all your "Hot buttons are, because you've already showed them, so they don't have to "Read your mind". You've already told 'em everything they need to know.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?
