Is Satan a Mind-Reader?

Can the Devil read your thoughts?

Q: My sister asked me if it says in the Bible that Satan can read our thoughts. I’ve always been taught that he cannot, but I can’t find scripture to back that up. Sandy

A: Sandy, there’s no Scripture saying that Satan can discern a Christian’s thoughts or read their mind.

In contrast, because they have their father’s fallen nature, sinners are an open book to the Devil.

They think, talk, and behave, just like their father Satan. Their life is satanic, bearing demonic fruit. Rom. 3:9-10, 1 Jn. 3:8-10 KJV;

…for we have before proved both Jews and Gentiles, that they are all under sin; As it is written, There is none righteous, no, not one:

He that committeth sin is of the devil; for the devil sinneth from the beginning. For this purpose the Son of God was manifested, that he might destroy the works of the devil.

Whosoever is born of God doth not commit sin; for his seed remaineth in him: and he cannot sin, because he is born of God.

In this the children of God are manifest, and the children of the devil: whosoever doeth not righteousness is not of God, neither he that loveth not his brother.
