Have faith in our Lord Jesus Christ and nothing bad will happen to you. Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. Philippians 4:6 But he can insert bad thoughts into your mind. Do NOT believe anything from him. Believe only God's words. Satan can lie you (he is the father of lies), and you should know when the thoughts are from God and when they come from the devil.

The bible does mention that we are accountable for what we say and it also mentions that the Word of God is our weapon of defense over satan. The way of entry that satan can have is by placing thoughts into our minds. Like a virus, if we entertain them, they can penetrate and begin festering in us. But we do have the Blood of Christ Jesus as a covering of protection as long as we have placed His armor on us. Ephesians ch.6. I try to be careful what I share in the open because of this and certain important things I just keep in silent prayer as God know our hearts even before we utter words out. Satan on the other hand, cannot know our hearts, he only tries to entice us by planting thoughts our way. But we don't have to budge to his thoughts and we can rebuke them in the name of Christ Jesus. Of course satan knows us, knows our week points and uses them to try and make us fall, but He cannot read our private thoughts. So yes I would be careful to share openly certain thoughts that can make you vulnerable to satan's attack. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The devil knows us well for he has a bunch of little devils watching over you your whole life. And they will rat you out in a heart beat.... But he can't be everywhere at once so I would wager a good guess that he interferes with us as individuals very rarely and most people never. But his little helpers do all the time.

Quote For what man knoweth the things of a man, save the spirit of man which is in him? Even so no man knoweth the things of God, but the Spirit of God. 1 Cor 2:11 There is so much more to say but I think that is all for now.......The world was spoken into existence by God,the Sword of the Spirit is THE WORD and Jesus Spoke it in the wilderness.......don't give the devil too much credit,he has been around for thousands of years & has had lots of practice to know what tempts man(himself,carnality,pride).......he is a gnat in comparison to Almighty God With love-in Christ,Kwik Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

God is stronger than satan, but satan likes to wait until when your are vulnerable to throw his nasty blows at you and uses whatever info he can to try to get on you, so to try and blow you down. satan's only purpose is to: steal, kill, destroy, and he will try to do so any way he can. satan is the counterfeit but will come in all forms to try and deceive as many as he can fool. but satan does not have access to you unless you give him access or permission. Satan comes in us through sin. That is why it is important to confess our sins and ask God for forgiveness of our sins and ask Him to come make His home in our hearts., continue to develop daily a close relationship with Him. That is how God guards our hearts and protects us from the enemy. The strength we as Christians have is our strength and faith in knowing that Gods is on our side and that no weapon formed against us will ever prosper and that if God is on our side , who can be against us? God Works In All Things Romans 8:31 …30And those He predestined He also called, those He called He also justified, those He justified He also glorified. 31What then shall we say in response to these things? If God is for us, who can be against us? 32He who did not spare His own Son but gave Him up for us all, how will He not also, along with Him, freely give us all things?… And even if satan tries... we have our Lord and Savior, our advocate who comes to defend us, cleanse us and transform us more and more into His new creation. All things end up working for Gods Glory. Our faith is what solidifies our strength and renews our hope, despite the arrows and blows from the enemy. When the enemy satan comes (in whatever form ), go directly to God in prayer, and through reading and speaking His Word out loud. Romans 8:28 7And He who searches our hearts knows the mind of the Spirit, because the Spirit intercedes for the saints according to the will of God. 28And we know that God works all things together for the good of those who love Him, who are called according to His purpose. 29For those God foreknew, He also predestined to be conformed to the image of His Son, so that He would be the firstborn among many brothers.… Edited June 17, 2017 by 1to3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He is just a creation of God that went rogue. He never will be God's equal but will be destroyed. God knows everything, even our thoughts and the intentions of our hearts. Satan does not. But, as others have said, he does plant thoughts and doubts in our mind, especially about God's word. He came to lie, kill and destroy and aims at dividing families, churches and nations. And he does hit us when we are down. Jesus refuted satan by knowing the Scriptures well and countering his twisting of God's word by speaking the truth. God inhabits the praises of his people and satan will flees when we sing praises to God and worship him. He is no match for God. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
