Satan Doesn’t Know Everything – Rhapsody Of Realities TeeVo Devotional October 7th

(Keep Him Confused By Speaking in Tongues)

TO THE BIBLE: 1 Corinthians 2:7-8
“But we speak the wisdom of God in a mystery, the hidden wisdom which God ordained before the ages for our glory, which none of the rulers of this age knew; for had they known, they would not have crucified the Lord of glory.”

LET’S TALK
There are folks who think the devil can read minds and know what we’re thinking. But that’s not true. The devil doesn’t have that kind of power. He can guess what’s going on by observing our mannerisms or listening to what we say—just like someone who studies body language—but he can’t read our thoughts.

Satan is a created being. He’s not like God, who knows everything. The devil doesn’t have God’s power or knowledge. In fact, the Bible shows us many times how limited Satan really is.

For example, when the Lord Jesus was born, King Herod heard about a new “king of the Jews” and got disturbed. He asked the wise men (the Magi) to tell him where Jesus was, pretending he wanted to worship Him.

But after they found the Lord Jesus, the wise men were warned in a dream not to go back to Herod, so they left another way. Herod didn’t know where Jesus was, so he ordered all boys under two years old in Bethlehem to be killed, hoping to catch the right one.

If the devil knew everything, that wouldn’t have happened. But he didn’t know. And even today, Satan still doesn’t know everything. He only acts on what he can figure out, not on full knowledge of God’s plan.

But thanks be unto God; the Bible says God has revealed these things to us by His Spirit: “…For the Spirit searches all things, yes, the deep things of God” (1 Corinthians 2:10).

Satan doesn’t have access to these deep things; he isn’t privy to the intricate details of God’s plans for your life except with your cooperation, of course.

That’s why it’s important to speak in tongues; as we do, we speak deep mysteries concerning God’s plans, including those related to our lives.

The Bible says in 1 Corinthians 14:2 that no man understands what we’re saying when we speak in tongues; not even the devil. But God reveals these mysteries to us through the Holy Spirit.

1 Corinthians 2:7-10 NKJV; 1 Corinthians 2:12

Pray:
Dear Father, I thank you for your omniscience and for the victory I have in Jesus Christ. I am grateful that you’re all-knowing and that nothing escapes your understanding. I walk in your guidance and wisdom and rely on your perfect plan for my life, confident that you’re aware of all things and have given me dominion over Satan and the powers of darkness, in Jesus’ Name. Amen.
