Can Satan Influence Our Future?

Q

Can Satan know things about our future and then make those things come true? I know he can’t be 100% accurate like God is, but are there things he knows about our future, and can he work behind the scenes to make those things come true?

A

I don’t think there’s any Biblical evidence to support the idea that Satan can see the future or cause future events to happen. It’s my understanding that he can only entice us into following through on things we already have a secret desire to do. (James 1:14).
