I strongly believe that the enemy can hear our thoughts. But God Jesus and the Holy Spirit deliver us from the provocations that he inflates within someone. That person just need to stay in prayer and praise to Jesus,God, and Holy Spirit. For Jesus is the only deliverer for someone.
Remember that our main reason to be here is to worship God and our LORD Jesus and follow the Holy Spirit. Anything else is evil and not of God and hence a avenue the evil ones uses.

Since satan is a created being and not omniscient or omnipotent, I don’t believe he is able to plant a thought in our head. The flesh however is very weak and prone to satans influence if we allow him opportunity.

I am not as concerned with Satan hearing my thoughts as I am wondering if he can plant thoughts, or whisper suggestions in my ear.
I can be in a positive environment or even at Church and flash to something very unchristian for no apparent reason. Although the image or thought may come to me, I feel no personal connection.

This topic came up in our class recently and I completely understand that satan is not at all God’s equal and he is not omnipresent. My question is; as a child learns to read they read audible and as they grow they learn to read silently however they say the words in their head. Many adults read in the very same way. They say each word as they read it. Can satan hear this or is it our actions that clue him in as to our thoughts?

I understand the reasoning behind the truth that Satan cannot hear our thoughts. I am trying searching to see Biblical reference to whether or not he can tempt us in our thoughts. I’m drawing a blank here, any suggestions?

I too believe the demons can not hear out thoughts and to this matter it may behove us to pray out loud instead of siliently. Satan-deomons flee the name of the Lord and doing this will make our prayer life more intent rather than being distracted by worldly things.

My wife and I were actually discussing this topic earlier this week. It is timely that I have come across this thread. We are struggling with a job situation at this point in our lives, and she had been discussing it with her mother. My wife began to speak openly and honestly about some insecurities. I found it strange that her mother quickly told her to be quiet, because Satan could hear her.

I recognized that there is some truth to this in theory, he can’t hear our thoughts, but he can hear our speech. My response was pointed to the fact (as you’ve stated) that Satan is no dummy. He has been dealing with mankind for many years enough to anticipate how we are likely to respond to circumstances. This could be an interesting discussion.

(As a side note, when I refer to Satan, I do not necessarily mean him directly, for he is not omnipresent either. I refer more specifically to the hosts of demons that we “wrestle” with)

Thanks for another great post dealing with so many “real life” traps the church has fallen into. I hear this one rather frequently, and some of the most popular are the “demon of lust” the “demon of alcohol” and so on.

I think these started out in the old Warner Brothers Bugs Bunny cartoons!

Coming from a Pentecostal background I get this question a lot, and my response to them before I explain the Scriptures is, “Does it really matter?”

Depending on how they answer that question clues me in on how fruitful my discussion with them will be.

I replied to this question on another blog by stating that angels and demons are created beings and are therefore neither omnipresent nor are they able to hear our thoughts. Paul wrote to the Corinthians “For what man knows the things of a man except the spirit of the man which is in him? Even so no one knows the things of God except the Spirit of God” (I Cor.2:11).
