The book of Job does teach that Satan does not read the mind or heart. It specifically calls out Job not sinning in what he said.Our church teaches he can not read minds. In my experience I sometimes wonder about that but then if we read Job we see Satan searching for someone and God assigning someone. Job ! Ya know,
This is why the commander of the angels is the Son of God. He knows our thoughts.Angels are assigned to a task, they can't read thoughts.. Often the task is to deliver a message.
Can Satan read our minds and thoughts too and tempt us accordingly?
Where are the verses that back up the claim that we are supposed to be able to find everything we need in the Bible? That sounds like a new and unbiblical tradition of men. Jesus founded ONE Church, said it was to remain ONE, and promised that ONE Church "The Holy Spirit will guide you into ALL truth", and "Whatsoever you bind upon Earth is bound in heaven", and "He who hears you hears Me". That ONE Church teaches that Satan cannot read our minds or thoughts. Therefore God Himself has so stated - IF you believe what the Bible says.
Have you ever prayed to God in your mind before? Like if you're in a public place and don't want to disturb anyone? You know for sure that God is listening because God is omnipresent and God can read our minds and thoughts. But what about Satan? Can Satan read our minds and thoughts too and tempt us accordingly? I watched a sermon on YouTube recently that said that Satan cannot. But he never gave any verses to back up his claim. Are there verses in the bible that prove whether or not Satan can read our minds and thoughts? Or is it all just conjecture?
Because sometimes it seems like Satan can read our thoughts.

No ... but he and his minions can and do in varying degrees put forth things to distract and influence our thinking and to that which is not of God. he is the master of deception. satan knows we are very inclined to sin. With Jesus He helps us overcome these inclinations, and it is a earth life-time process.
God Bless.

This is actually not entirely true. Demons can enter into born-again Christians who have the Holy Spirit, if the Christian sins enough or partakes in the occult, new age or false "Christian" spiritual practices. I had some for a long time after I got born-again, because it took me a long time to be delivered due to the state I was in when I got saved, and because I didn't believe that a born-again Christian could have them. And I have cast out many different spirits from born-again Christians, some that entered after they received the Holy Spirit, some that entered during childhood.If you have faith in Christ and have the Spirit, you need not worry about the enemy in your head; he can not enter.
Goodness, if you’re playing with the occult, the Spirit isn’t in you. Where there is sin, HE will not be.This is actually not entirely true.

But yes, a fully delivered, born-again Christian who stays obedient to Christ, resisting the devil and sin, not double-minded, not quenching the Holy Spirit, has nothing to worry about. Unfortunately, that isn't always the case these days when deception is everywhere in the Church.
Also, there are many, many different evil spirits that can be inside a person.
That is not entirely true. Yes, where there is sin, the Holy Spirit isn't in there, and if we sin, that part of us spiritually dies. Evil spirits cannot be in our spirits or our innermost beings like the Holy Spirit is after we are born-again, but they can still attach to or enter our bodies if we allow them.Goodness, if you’re playing with the occult, the Spirit isn’t in you. Where there is sin, HE will not be.
He can bring thoughts which have us thinking what is not right. But if we are with God, thinking what He wants, God is able to keep Satan from being effective against what God has us thinking.Can Satan read our minds and thoughts too and tempt us accordingly?
Is Satan a soul? Our minds are part of our souls. The only thing the Bible says about angels (Satan is a fallen angel) is that they are ministering spirits. Satan is a spirit. So to answer your question, just as God is a Spirit and wants us to commune with him by our spirits, Satan perceives our spirits, too. What and how much he can perceive, is another question that we do not know. So when you pray with your mind, you thoughts are expressing what is in your heart and spirit.Have you ever prayed to God in your mind before?

The Holy Spirit is omnipresent. How then can He not be in the presence of sin when He is everywhere? David said,That is not entirely true. Yes, where there is sin, the Holy Spirit isn't in there
I agree, and thanks, I didn't think of that. I was thinking more of inside of our temples. I do believe that the Holy Spirit is NOT inside us before we are born-again, only after we are born-again, although He is around us. Would you agree? But I don't believe that a born-again Christian can walk in the flesh and in the Spirit at the same time, because they are at war. We cannot be in Christ and sin, but we can move without Him, not obeying Him and then we can sin. So if the Spirit has filled us completely, there can be no sin, but if we quench Him, there can be sin inside us, and eventually evil spirits if we sin enough. Am I making sense? And would you agree?The Holy Spirit is omnipresent. How then can He not be in the presence of sin when He is everywhere? David said,
Psa_139:8 If I ascend up into heaven, thou art there: if I make my bed in hell, behold, thou art there.
When we willfully sin, we do not lose the presence of God, but we take our eyes off of him and lose our sense of his presence.
