Bible Question:
I believe God knows our thoughts, but does Satan know them too? I had read somewhere to keep certain things private so satan can't use them against us? |
Bible Answer: Hello, Brenda. Thanks for your question. The Bible offers no reason to believe that Satan can read our minds or infiltrate our thoughts. Satan is a created being and no created being -- only God alone -- is omnipresent and omniscient. ..... But Satan is powerful. Even Michael the archangel dared not confront Satan without the Lord's help (Jude 9). James instructs to resist Satan and he will flee (James 4:7b). .... There is a book out called "The Serpent of Paradise" by Erwin W. Lutzer with a Foreword by R. C. Sproul that looks promising. I haven't read it yet, but after having read a number of reviews of the book, I've decided to put it on my Christmas list this year and hope for the best! --Hank |
