1 | Can Satan read our minds? | Ps 94:11 | Ocelot | 172800 | ||
Hello annamrowe, I’m no Greek scholar, but here are two verses that I found that I believe logically prove that only God is able to search hearts and read minds. “…and He [The Holy Spirit] who searches the hearts knows what the mind of the Spirit is, because He intercedes for the saints according to the will of God.” Romans 8:27 And then in Revelation, Jesus says: “… And all the churches will know that I am He who searches the minds and hearts; and I will give to each one of you according to your deeds.” Revelation 2:23 In the first verse God the Holy Spirit is described as “…He who searches the hearts…”, and in the second verse God the Son is described as “…He who searches the minds and hearts…” If Satan (or any one else but God) was able to “search hearts and minds”, then the descriptive titles in those verses would be deceptive, in that God would not be the ONLY one who is able to search hearts and minds. But God doesn’t lie. Only God is able to read our minds. Ocelot |

2 | Can Satan read our minds? | Ps 94:11 | Jagfire | 172810 | ||
The Bible gives us no reason to believe Satan and his demons can read our minds. To me, that would take a measure of omnipresence and omniscience, which they do not have. However, Satan and his demons have been observing and tempting human beings for thousands of years. Surely they have learned a few things about us over the years. Even without the ability to know our thoughts, they can probably make a well-educated guess as to what we are thinking – and then attempt to use it to their advantage. That is why we are commanded to “Submit yourselves, then, to God” (James 4:7), before we are told to “Resist the devil” (James 4:7) | ||||||
