Help! Can the evil one read our minds if he can be rebuked by our thinking silent prayers of rebuke?!

Allegedly, the evil one cannot read our minds.

So how can the evil one be rebuked by our silent prayers that we are thinking in our minds?

Serious responses only please.

I'm actually asking this for a friend!

The evil one can be rebuked by the faith we have which moves us to silent prayer in the first place.

The evil one cannot have power over a soul that has faith in Jesus.

Angels fallen or not cannot read our thoughts. But God can and He can respond accordingly to our petitions whether they be silent or not. If you silently pray to rebuke Satan and ask for protection, God can answer that in the blink of an eye and rebuke Satan on your behalf. Satan does not have to read your mind when you silently pray to know that he is being rebuked by a person of faith. Any silent prayer can be efficacious, precisely because God can read our thoughts and respond accordingly.

@Michie Perfect. Perfect response. You speak the truth of God.

I must have been blinded by my wickedness, but I see now, thanks to my sister in Christ.

Amen!

From what I have read from exorcists, the answer is no.

 

[joymercy]

Yes, exorcists say the answer is no, then suddenly there are other Catholic voices suggesting otherwise on the net....

Best to stick with the ones you know that teach rock solid stuff and not allow oneself to get tempted away from the truths of the church

by slick serpents looking for click bait to dissuade us away into slippery places where we may fall!

Didn't the evil one have power over Padre Pio through intense spiritual warfare?

I don’t think it was so much power over Padre Pio but warfare.

Have you read this?

Library : The Devil and Padre Pio

The Devil and Padre Pio Padre Pio wrestled with the devil on numerous occasions. An internationally renowned Church exorcist comments.

I think he spiritually attacked him, yes. It’s in many of his biographies.
