Bible Questions Answered: Satan's Limitations.

Bible Questions Answered:
“Pastor the fellows having been talking about satan, and if he knows what we are thinking....”
Rasta/ Melbourne, Australia

Bible Answer:
No, Satan, does not know the thoughts, of the minds of men. He is a created angel (not eternal) and being so has his limitations.
He is not “Omnipotent: All powerful/ Omnipresent: Every where existent/ Omniscient: All knowing, only God is that.

God knows our thoughts:

Psalm 94:11 KJV
The LORD knoweth the thoughts of man, that they are vanity.

Matthew 9:4 KJV
And Jesus knowing their thoughts said, Wherefore think ye evil in your hearts?

Matthew 12:25 KJV
And Jesus knew their thoughts, and said unto them, Every kingdom divided against itself is brought to desolation; and every city or house divided against itself shall not stand:

Luke 5:22 KJV
But when Jesus perceived their thoughts, He answering said unto them, What reason ye in your hearts?

Luke 6:8 KJV
But He knew their thoughts, and said to the man which had the withered hand, Rise up, and stand forth in the midst. And he arose and stood forth.

Luke 11:17 KJV
But He, knowing their thoughts, said unto them, Every kingdom divided against itself is brought to desolation; and a house divided against a house falleth.

I Corinthians 3:20 KJV
And again, The Lord knoweth the thoughts of the wise, that they are vain.

Hebrews 4:12 KJV
For the Word of God is quick, and powerful, and sharper than any two edged sword, piercing even to the dividing asunder of soul and spirit, and of the joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart.

Be all this as it may, yet are we to take great caution in guarding our minds against the enemy and his wiley ways.
Our Lord gave the beloved John a vision of Satan's man and his horde.

Revelation 6:1-8 KJV
1 And I saw when the Lamb opened one of the seals, and I heard, as it were the noise of thunder, one of the four beasts saying, Come and see.
2 And I saw, and behold a white horse: and he that sat on him had a bow; and a crown was given unto him: and he went forth conquering, and to conquer.
3 And when he had opened the second seal, I heard the second beast say, Come and see.
4 And there went out another horse that was red: and power was given to him that sat thereon to take peace from the earth, and that they should kill one another: and there was given unto him a great sword.
5 And when he had opened the third seal, I heard the third beast say, Come and see. And I beheld, and lo a black horse; and he that sat on him had a pair of balances in his hand.
6 And I heard a voice in the midst of the four beasts say, A measure of wheat for a penny, and three measures of barley for a penny; and see thou hurt not the oil and the wine.
7 And when he had opened the fourth seal, I heard the voice of the fourth beast say, Come and see.
8 And I looked, and behold a pale horse: and his name that sat on him was Death, and Hell followed with him. And power was given unto them over the fourth part of the earth, to kill with sword, and with hunger, and with death, and with the beasts of the earth.

Our enemy, is a deceiver. Yes he comes crowned, riding on a white horse (Mimicking the conquering Saviour.), with his bow in his hand, his empty bow (a deception). And we know this to be the coming Anti-Christ (In a figurative sense, son of Satan.) because of the company he keeps, and yes we are known by the company we keep!
Who are his comrades? The blood red rider of hate, madness and war, the black rider of famine, and the pale rider of death and hell.

This is Satan's representative (Anti-Christ) soon to be made known. And why will the world embrace him?
Because their hearts and minds have become corrupt.

2 Corinthians 4:4 KJV
In whom the god of this world hath blinded the minds of them which believe not, lest the light of the glorious gospel of Christ, who is the image of God, should shine unto them.

2 Corinthians 11:3 KJV
But I fear, lest by any means, as the serpent beguiled Eve through his subtilty, so your minds should be corrupted from the simplicity that is in Christ.

No, Satan does not know your thoughts, but he will do his best to introduce evil thoughts to you.
He has a bow, and with it the Apostle tells us he shoots evil imaginations at us.

Ephesians 6:10-18 KJV
10 Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord, and in the power of His might.
11 Put on the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil.
12 For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places.
13 Wherefore take unto you the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand.
14 Stand therefore, having your loins girt about with truth, and having on the breastplate of righteousness;
15 And your feet shod with the preparation of the gospel of peace;
16 Above all, taking the shield of faith, wherewith ye shall be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked.
17 And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God:
18 Praying always with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit, and watching thereunto with all perseverance and supplication for all saints;

Only the helmet of Salvation, can properly guard your mind. Only the shield of Faith, can quench all the fiery darts of the enemy. And as God's soldier, we need the belt of truth, the breastplate of righteousness, the boots of the gospel of peace, the sword of the spirit, which is the word of God, and prayer.

Then and only then, when we put on “the whole armour of God, (we) may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil. Ephesians 6:11KJV

Philippians 4:7 KJV
And the peace of God, which passeth all understanding, shall keep your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.
