Not exactly. Many can hear. Even some humans can 'mind read' & etc. I can sometimes read the thoughts & prayers of others. God is most powerful, yes. God alone is to be worshiped, yes. For us , anyways. There are some out there who worship Satan. That's what this whole battle about. If Satan can't hear their 'prayers' then why does the cabal have any power at all? I am afraid you are wrong, many can hear.
We can banish the devil with Jesus's name, yes, this is true. If so we can ask that the devil can not read our prayers & I suppose if you wanted to, you could ask the same for any other archangel, but why? "...we humbly pray, and do thou oh prince of the heavenly hosts, by the power of God, cast into hell Satan,......" This says that we are praying and we are also requesting the assistance of the mighty archangel. Worship belongs to God alone (for us) but you can request anything from anyone, including archangels. This was brilliantly written by Trump so that people of any faith can join us here. Though he is a Christian, he is a leader of not just Christians.
If I see some birds in a tree, flying around, singing..doing bird things. I get an idea. I’m gonna go throw bread crumbs and see if they fly down when I throw them on the ground under them. Now, what do you think will happen? Can I read their minds? No. Do I understand how they think? Yes. This is what the devil can do. He understand you, very well. He can read you. The devil knows if he gets a beautiful woman to come across your screen, your mind will do the rest. Doesn’t mean he can read your thoughts. He knows how you think, but not literally. Now, those birds may not be dumb enough to go after those crumbs. They may understand that I’m a threat and just fly away. Or they’ll do exactly what I want the to do. Manipulation. Temptation. This is what the devil does. Doesn’t make you a mind reader. And, it’s written in scripture that only God can read the hearts and minds. So no, not angels, not people. And yes, of course of God allows someone to. But again, that power belongs to the creator.
I upvoted you because you made a good argument however, I still disagree to some extent.
What does it mean to "read minds?" It means to know what they are thinking, right? So one could say that I can sometimes read the minds of birds but I sometimes get it wrong too. It sort of depends on what people mean by the phrase "read minds"
People are more complex. There are people you know so well that you can pretty much read their minds. Not always, but often. Does it matter that it has to do with a tiny inflection or facial muscle twitch. It's still reading the mind, isn't it? Maybe even machines can read our mind (Like the lie detector machine)
Maybe it is possible to actually read minds too. In the old days (before cell phones or caller id) it was often the case that, when the phone rang, we just knew that ring sounded like a certain person & it was usually correct. At least with me. Yes, I think people are a lot more psychic than they realize. I do think we can read minds to some extent. Have you ever looked at someone from a distance, even through glass & they look back? Happens all the time doesn't it? If you don't believe me go to a random place where you don't know anyone and sit in a window somewhere where many passerby's can see you through the window & without moving your head a bit, look into the eyes of people of the opposite gender & count how many times they look back. (Watch out that you don't creep anyone out though) Detectives know this & learn not to do it so not to let the followed person to know (but to rather follow them by watching their feet)
Yes, we do have some capability to read minds, some more than others but, of course, no one can read everyone's mind all the times, except God.
After thinking this all out, though, I was thinking it might be a good idea to ask God to prevent demons from being able to read our mind! That might be a good prayer
To me reading someone mind would be like, let’s say I was looking at a blank wall, or even looking out a window. What am I thinking about? Well that could be anything. God knows those thoughts. Now if I’m looking at tools, or guns or something similar, you’ll narrow it down pretty quick. Say I’m looking at a candy bar…my thoughts could be narrowed down to like “wow that’s expensive!” Or “dang, that looks good”. But looking out a window of a car I could be thinking about literally anything. A bird in a tree doesn’t have complex thoughts compared to us. It’s pretty basic. We could figure it out just by throwing some crackers on the ground. To Satan, not to give that fool of a shepherd any credit but, he’s very smart and crafty. And much much more intelligent than we are. We have zero chance going up against the actions of the devil. But, those who have Jesus and have God’s protection and advice/wisdom from the Holy Spirit, the devil has a much harder time because he isn’t all powerful. He doesn’t have those abilities. No angel does. Unless gifted from God himself.
