That he alone is in the very thoughts in our minds, and no one else can invade. But is that true? Can Satan and the demons hear our thoughts? When we are tempted by Satan, does he whisper in our ear from the outside or does he work in trying to manipulating our thoughts that we have not yet spoken? If Satan can hear our thoughts the unspoken word of God may be more deadly than we think. The other thing to consider is if Satan can only hear the spoken word, should we be afraid of speaking about out temptations and struggles out loud, or should we pray about those things in silence to God? Just some thoughts! No matter what, I feel at peace knowing that my God has already overcome the world (John 16:33). I never really thought about how God is the only one that is omniscient.
