Study Notes

Satan's Involvement in Human Thoughts

  • Only God knows our thoughts, motives, and intentions (1 Kings 8:39, Psalm 139:1-4, Luke 16:15)
  • Satan is not omniscient or omnipresent, unlike God
  • Satan cannot read our hearts and minds like God can

Examples of Satan's Involvement

  • Satan put into Judas' heart to betray Christ (John 13:2)
  • Satan filled Ananias' heart to lie against the Spirit (Acts 5:3)
  • Satan moved David to take a census of the people, but David was held accountable for the deed (1 Chronicles 21:1, 2 Samuel 24:1-2)

Limitations of Satan's Power

  • Satan is not omnipresent and cannot be everywhere at once
  • Satan does not have the power to read our minds or hearts like God does
  • Satan's power is limited, and he requires permission from God to act (Job 1-2)

False Teaching and Demons

  • Some false teaching comes from demons (1 Timothy 4:1, James 3:13-16)
  • Not all false teaching is demonic, as humans can come up with perverse and erroneous ideas on their own
  • Demons can use false teaching to direct the hearts and minds of sinful men in the wrong direction

The Sovereignty of God

  • God is sovereign and allows false teaching to come, but this does not define the dynamic of Satan's involvement
