Putting Thoughts In Our Minds

Q. First and foremost LOVE your site and read it everyday. I don’t know if this has been asked or not so here goes. Can Satan read your thoughts or put thoughts in your mind? Thank you  and God Bless You!!!

A. Yes, because of our sin nature Satan can introduce thoughts into our minds.  But because of the Holy Spirit we have the power to  reject them. (2 Cor 10:3-5)  We haven’t sinned until we decide to accept them.  For example it’s not a sin to look at an attractive person.  The sin happens when we allow Satan’s lustful thoughts to form in our hearts.
