Can Satan and The Demonic Forces Read Our Minds?

Can Satan and the demonic forces read our minds/hear our thoughts or are they limited to what we speak and do? I cannot find definitive evidence one way or the other in the Bible… So naturally I’ve heard teaching in churches leaning on both sides.

Excerpt From The Answer

“Only God is omniscient, omnipotent, and omnipresent. Psalm 139:4 says, ‘Even before there is a word on my tongue, Behold, Lord, You know it all.’ Satan is the father of lies. John 8:44 says, ‘“You are of your father the devil, and you want to do the desires of your father. He was a murderer from the beginning, and does not stand in the truth because there is no truth in him. Whenever he speaks a lie, he speaks from his own nature, for he is a liar and the father of lies.’

Satan is powerful. He is the prince of the power of the air, as we see in Ephesians 2:2. Even Michael the Archangel did not pronounce judgment against him. The great news is that we have a powerful defense against his lies, temptations, and deception. James 4:7 says, ‘Submit therefore to God. Resist the devil and he will flee from you.’”
