Can Satan hear (read) our thoughts?

[Bob Carabbio]

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?

We tell him what he needs to know every time we talk to each other.

As a believer, are you not one of the "spiritual folks"?

i'm a bit supprised you don't instantly know what i'm talking about.

i've met many christians in churches who, when you bring up the harder things of life and death, salvation, being born again, judgement, they will quickly change the subject and say things like "i'm a spiritual person, i don't judge"

not all of them are unsaved.

one of the strangest people i met was an old friend of a friend of mine. we got to talking about spiritual stuff and he was familiar with the bible, but he had his stories all mixed up. i set him straight on a half a dozen details and then i told him, "you need to go read the bible again with a completely neutral perspective on rachel, she wasn't the perfect person our sunday schools make her out to be" -and this guy instantly left the bar. he comes back in half an hour later, saying to me "i was so affected by your judgement, i had to go smoke some weed to clear my head"

i'm like.. what? all i'm saying is she isn't.. and he didn't let me finish.

I learned some things about how the spirit of marijuana works that night. its a lying spirit that in general says "everything is fine, there is no judgment"--and this is, in general, the majority POV of those who call themselves "spiritual"

I have walked into a "bible study" where a person there began manifesting in front of me (e.g. raging, frothing at the mouth, spitting), as his spirit recognized my Spirit. And all this without me saying anything or drawing any attention to myself. So why doesn't every believer experience this or see this? Because the "believer" may not be a true believer, and/or he is walking in unrighteousness or degrees of unbelief. Meanwhile, the devils discern all of the spiritual dynamics of the parties involved! So sanctification is crucial to being able to walk effectively in our calling, and since that takes work, it's not popular.

satan has a different approach to the spirits in other people, because i'm not afraid of them. if they manifest in the person, it would give me a chance to influence the person to change their ways. so instead they hide from me.
the demons in homeless people routinely will act up around my wife, because she is afraid.
maybe 4 years ago she was on a bus and sat away from some guy who didn't loook good, and she started praying for him.
he started getting animated, started complaining: "someone on this bus is praying for me and they need to stop it!!"
Similar situation happened just a few weeks ago, a homeless person outside a store started talking to someone who wasn't there, as soon as my wife walked out of the store and walked by him. .. me? 12 years ago i would have tried to talk to him. probably would not have ended well. there is a time and a place for exorcisms.

maybe 5 years ago now, i sat down next to a girl at a church group and talked to her a bit. i had tried to help her out in the past. i left the room to call her boyfriend about his car i was working on. she texts me while i'm talking to him, saying "i had the strongest panic attack the instant you left the room"
i replied back "yeah they dont like me"
i can't remember if she replied to me or not, but she didn't find that funny.

a few weeks later she had a panic attack that ended in the hospital. she told me "i didn't believe you until 4 other people told me it was demonic"
-because of her desires for me, i couldn't help her.* i guess all i can say is the woman was fortunate to have 5 people tell her the same thing. many rarely get 1 person to help them.

*but this was not the case a year or so later when I saw a demon following a girl into her friends house. I told it to leave her alone, and instantly this girls attraction to me ceased and she appeared ashamed of herself. -its been 5 years now and I now have a strong idea of where her desire for me came from, and it wasn't sin, at the time. her response to the desire was. She should have simply asked me to pray for her depression, which i didn't know about until september 2022, when i saw her through the spiritual realm, crying on her bed, i reached my hand through the realm to touch her and pray that God would heal her depression... she didn't make eye contact with me again for 6-9 months after that, which was quite a relief to me. She appeared genuinely happy around her siblings and parents. back in 2018, i was afraid to talk to her thinking she was a foster child, and she was way too young to take the risk to talk to, plus i didn't know her parents.

I do, but remember that we're not the only players perusing this thread.

Excellent critique of the follies of marijuana.

Very typical manifesting scenario. That's why we must not move as politically correct wimps, but act in boldness. Our entire walk is one big beta test in the spiritual.

"i had the strongest panic attack the instant you left the room"
i replied back "yeah they dont like me"

"Panic" comes from Pan, the licentious god of the dark forest i.e. just another one of Satan's henchmen. He strikes great fear in others.

She should have simply asked me to pray for her depression,

Sorcery/pharmakea, according to the Holy Bible, remains one of Satan's chiefest weapons. So it goes with the label of "depression."

And so, the majority of people reading this, indeed the world at large, have no understanding of the spiritual dynamic, and thus, make silly statements such as "Satan can't read my mind." Many have a form of godliness, but deny the power thereof.

Yes, Satan can hear your thoughts... But, so can Jesus! He also puts malicious thoughts into our head, so be careful, and keep your faith in Jesus, pray that the enemy will not guide you down the wrong path.

Whether the devil can hear or know your thoughts or not the following is true that we are fully responsible for every one of them. For every unfounded word will face judgement and in Isaiah The Lord states that He judges the attitude of the heart. Therefore Mercy is required for Life and in humility the saint acknowledges The Authority of Jesus Christ The Shepherd of our hearts.

People lack the discernment needed to know where their thoughts come from.

Thank you, and let us realize that thoughts are hard to control...

So pray on having good thoughts
