| Satan knows how people think and he knows the weakness of human beings. This is how hes able to tempt us. He does not know our inner thoughts: otherwise, he would not have wasted his time tempting Job [Job 1:6-12], or Jesus (when He was a man) [Matthew 4:1-11]. Satan has the power to deceive those who do not follow God: "The great dragon was hurled down, that ancient serpent called the devil, or Satan, who leads the whole world astray. He was hurled to the earth, and his angels with him." (Revelation 12:9, NIV) Satan was brought under the power and authority of Jesus when He died for our sins and established His Kingdom and His church. Satan no longer has power over us and by this, we can be sure that the devil, Satan, cannot read our thoughts. [Revelation 12:7-17] |
