'Satan is just as powerful as God, he just uses his power for evil!' Have you ever heard or even thought this? Does Satan have the same attributes as God or are his attributes different? If Satan is as powerful as God or if Satan shares the same attributes as God, we're all in serious trouble. Melissa Dougherty lays out the argument that Satan and God are two entirely different types of beings with separate attributes.

God created Satan as perfect in wisdom and perfect in beauty but he cannot read our thoughts and he created it as the most highest ranking and most powerful angel but his power was limited unlike to God and we can see it in the Book of Revelations were Archangel Michael defeated Satan in the Dragon form

Glory be to GOD!!
Good explanation.

The devil is saying my thoughts for along time. Jesus literally casted out roots and other people have similar situation like me. I thought a prayer and now the devil is saying my thoughts. He is also interfere in middle of prayer in my mind.

...."set your mind on things above not on things in the earth....", Finally, brethren, whatever things are true, whatever things are noble, whatever things are just, whatever things are pure, whatever things are lovely, whatever things are of good report, if there is any virtue and if there is anything praiseworthy—meditate on these things.

I think Satan corrupt our brains with negative thoughts and it acts alone on ourselves,
But when Satan wants he can ask demons to influence us personally
@scripturehelps Says:
Jesus came in our shoes (as a sinful human being) but.who did not sin, to escorts us out of the mess satan kidnapped us in. Jesus as a human being heard the demon call his name legion., did Jesus have to be demonized to hear it's words. They can not only speak to us or not (if they want to. But can send data like what.the angel to John on the island of patmos sent him mutimedua straight to his brain. The bible tells us what angels can or not do...if we are listenning. To the commenter below this comment; the best Christian friends you can find today; are the Godly people in the bible that God has already approved for you. Get to know them and what God is saying to you thru them, until He purifies and sanctified our contemporaries...He seems to be waitng for a better bride Himself. Satan does wants to believe himself that he can become God evil all power...because he sees God good is all powerful. Satan fooled himself , hoping the opposite would be that God evil would be all powerful too, except better thinking would be that if good is the opposite of evil...God evil would be destined for all weak...that is why Michael is the one who wins that war in heaven. Satan made a bad error and still does not want to repent...he shows only anger that Michael beat him.

Ever look something up online, then start seeing ads for everything related to it? Satan reads your mind the same way Google does, but he has thousands of years of experience.

@homehelpservices6652 Says:
Father God didn't create Satan. Because He cannot create evil things or beings. Satan turned himself into what he is willingly.
@jupiterrising887 Says:
Yeah Satan is always described as a deceiver - not a conqueror, a deceiver. I'm sure Satan has a certain measure of ability to make things happen, we know that from Revelation, the dragon will give power unto the beast. But I wouldn't even go so far as to describe that as 'power', not real power when compared to God. He can do nothing which God does not allow. We must also recall that Satan was a servant of God, and while he may be a disobedient servant now, he still has a purpose to serve whether he likes it or not.

@ryeclansen7371 Says:
In my estimation Satan (if he/she/it exists) is the good guy in the bible. Satan never killed anybody, never did anything mean to anybody. Yahweh (god) slew (killed) lots of people in fits of temper tantrums, like the innocent man who tried to be helpful by putting out his hand to keep the ark falling of the ox cart. When Moses came down from the mountain and saw the golden calf he (Moses) went berserk, got together a bunch of thugs with swords, and they went through the camp slaughtering men, women and children. And god was ok with that and apparently it didn't violate his commandments. The god of the bible is the most heinous, sadistic and horrible deity of all the religions of the world, that humans ever dreamt up. Satan in comparison is a very good guy.
@nathanhine286 Says:
Can Satan put thoughts into out minds?
@richardrahl1001 Says:
Appreciate pointing out the failure of most modern "christian's" terrible theology regarding God and the satan. There are a lot of dualists among supposed believers.
-There is an assertion made that 'the satan and his cohorts cannot read minds or know our thoughts.' Logic question: if he/they cannot, how does the tempter tempt us? How do they know what sin is on our hearts in that moment? How does the accuser accuse us of something we are thinking about or that weighs on our hearts?
I appreciate the attempted comfort which would more accurately be asserted that true believers cannot be possessed, but this does not extrapolate to cannot be mind read. Not sure how the topic came up to make the video, but the unbiblical assertion is not logically valid nor biblically validated. In fact, the reverse is more plausible when Jesus says to Peter that He has prayed that Peter and the other disciples' faith not shatter so that the satan cannot destroy them, even when it wavers (Luke 22 - including the possession of Judas who looked like a believer for years but was truly not one chosen by God and given faith).
The tempter can tempt (and thus has to know our temptations). The tempter can accuse (and thus has to know what sins we have committed or are on our hearts & minds). But it is through maintaining the faith in Christ Jesus through the knowledge of God that will allow us to suffer and endure for His glory (2 Peter 1:2-11). This power has nothing to do with omnipresence. The satan's power is absolutely limited (Job 1), but that does not mean he cannot know our weaknesses.
-Ps. "seems to be a spiritual elements to our minds, to spiritual realms, depending on what we open ourselves up to." --A spiritualist's belief. Where are the spiritual realms (plural) in the Bible? I know what you are trying to say, but to those who may be coming from a New Age background who can recognize this thought in their beliefs, they will hear this as affirmation when it's untrue.
I pray this helps others along the way to uncovering the truth.
@vigneshiyer4334 Says:
Hi I believe the things discussed. But, lie, jealousy are seen in even children... If Satan can't know the reading of their minds and how is he working those thoughts/evil motives in them?
Is it because we have our nature wired to sinning after our fall in Eden?
@asellusskind Says:
Thank you so much for this video!
@JennyRoseHealthCoach Says:
Ok but... I came to Jesus shortly after communicating with Nephilum via telekinesis + muscle testing. Can anyone shed light on how this was possible? Maybe me initiating and inviting contact plus meditating with crystals to open my 3rd eye opened doors?
@CATAZTR0PHE Says:
For a long time I was afraid of e.g. writing down my thoughts, saying certain things in fear that the devils would hear it and use it against me 😅
But if you watch body language expert videos, you know that your body reveals a lot - it always reveals that you are lying.
What you talk about, your choices - all reveal what is in your heart.
Catholic exorcists say the devil does not read minds.
@ourlove3112 Says:
I would really like you to consider telepathy that is an actual existence how is it human to human can communicate mine to mind telepathically this has nothing to do with your relationship with Jesus it’s an experience this is why the enemy can battle for our minds and this is why the Lord shows us to surrender to Jesus except his love his salvation and his armor he has blessed us with
@ourlove3112 Says:
So I guess what you’re saying and I say this with all due respect is that human beings can have telepathic communication mind to mind and especially for those who have experienced it and know it to be true but Satan is not capable of communicating with your mind I don’t believe this I have had battles with Satan and the Lord has shown me how to use his word to Aamir up against the enemy please rethink what you were sharing because it is very dangerous when people feel their mind is not being toyed with when they are not protecting them self with the powerAs a matter fact that is why people are suicidal they are under attack by the enemy in their mind

@thisguy2985 Says:
Human beings can predict what someone wants or is thinking fairly accurately, so it would make sense that a being that has lived for thousands of years would be able to know and do things that seem a lot like reading people's minds, even though he isn't actually able to do so.

@Nick-ij5nt Says:
Satan is not as powerful as God but he is more powerful than us and is not to be underestimated. It is only through faith and prayer that we can be shielded from the evils of Satan.
@darrenkoglin3423 Says:
You said it YHWH doesnt share his glory with anyone else this includes Jesus,Jesus stated himself everything he does he does as his fathers will not his own
@el-sig2249 Says:
Satan can read a thousand different permutations of the intentions, attitudes and actions. From this he is able to understand most human beings better than they understand themselves. What's more, he directly and indirectly influences the thoughts and desires of most people.
With such powers who needs mind reading?!
The question isn't as important as people think. What matters is how to remain beyond his reach as a child of God.
@skylerstorm527 Says:
I’m not sure. This presupposes we fully understand the ontological nature of thoughts. Sure they appear to exist only in the mind from our perception of reality, but do our thoughts send off a sort of echo in the spiritual realm? Perhaps thoughts are the outward speech of our soul then imprinted into our physical mind. If that were the case, our thoughts would be very much hearable by entities other than God. I’m not sure, but my point isn’t to be sure, my point is that we can’t know. I’ll leave you with this: it’s almost never safe to claim something as certain when it’s not explicitly mentioned in the Bible. It’s an unwise decision. If theologians talk about these sorts of things, they like to use language such as, “perhaps,” “I think it’s possible,” “maybe,” etc.
@theskysaboveourheads Says:
We're speaking of the heart. What must be guarded. From it is where the evil thoughts come from Jesus says, and many other things.
“For out of the heart proceed evil thoughts, murders, adulteries, fornications, thefts, false witness, blasphemies:”
Matthew 15:19
It is our true desires, where our thoughts come from that God knows.
“Shall not God search this out? For he knoweth the secrets of the heart.”
Psalm 44:21
The heart is where the enemy places things to try to get us to sin against God. In every case it seems the person is always still completely responsible.
“And supper being ended, the devil having now put into the heart of Judas Iscariot, Simon's son, to betray him;”
John 13:2
And the heart is also where the enemy tries to take good things out, again, if we are not spiritually guarded.
“When any one heareth the word of the kingdom, and understandeth it not, then cometh the wicked one, and catcheth away that which was sown in his heart. This is he which received seed by the way side.”
Matthew 13:19

@projectclockin9193 Says:
There many more things that totally differ between God and Satan and some things which God and God can do.
1. When God blesses or Curses something, object or a person that curse or blessing not only get applied to the object or person cursed at hand but to all things that satisfy the conditions and attributes of the thing that was cursed or blessed e.g. when God curse adam and eve not only they were cursed but everything in existence or in the whole of the universe received the same curse meaning plats and animals and any other creature received the same curse, Why is that to maintain order.
2. In hebrews its stated that the word of God is sharper than any two edged sword and piercing to the even dividing asunder of the soul and spirit and its the discerner of thoughts and intents of the heats -- meaning that God has the ability to read the contents of your heart and mind and/or tell your plans or read your mind in simple terms.
3. There are many things that God can do and exclusive to him and only him. Creation from nothing and only the ability for word commands to affect everything that satisfies his commands. Creation of life and universe God didn''t have to speak everything into existence but he just spoke a word -"Let the be light" there was light - light is a lot of things at once.
4. When God created life not only was life created here on earth only but in all of existence that proves he is God because everything he does is in order and follows his commands and applies to everything in existence, Thas a God
@VincentJonathanYong Says:
"[Satan] has been studying humanity for thousands of years, and isn't ignorant to human weakness."
It is folly to underestimate Satan, but an even greater folly to underestimate God's power and love for His children.
@jonroth9656 Says:
Can Satan read our minds?
No.
@seawolf7649 Says:
I think most Christians are perfectly fine people... until they tell me how bad they are.
They talk all about how much they deserve judgment for their innately fallen nature, and how they are only able to be moral because of what an undetectable war lord from the ancient desert tells them to do.
I make sure that I understand them as best as I am able when listening to these Christians describe why they may in fact be headed for Hell when they die. They tell me all about their angry, vengeful, male sky deity with plans - who is going to forgive them (or not). They tell me all about the blood magic associated with this entire story, and how the torture and death of an innocent carpenter man (who is also his own father) is the only thing that can save them from what their all-loving Lord might do to them otherwise.
So ------ it's not that I think Christians are bad or anything... I just think their beliefs about certain things are at the very least questionable. And I think their God sounds like a jerk. That's all.
You guys are the ones calling yourselves out for being such low-life "mortals".
Go get em, Christians!
@romanticandperky Says:
There's a quote from C.S. Lewis's 'The Screwtape Letters' that is applicable here: "Satan doesn't puts things into your (the Christian's) mind. He's keep them out of it." In other words, he keeps the Gospel out of your mind; and if you are already a Christian who accepts the Gospel, he distracts you from it, and makes you forgetful. That is why it's important to not just read His Word, but to re-read it! Oh, and before I forget: Thank you for your ministry, Melissa!
