John 8:
Jesus shows how this operates.
37 I know that ye are Abraham’s seed; but ye seek to kill me, because my word hath no place in you.
(no place in them = it's not something in their minds/hearts and they refuse the thoughts God tries to awaken and listen to Satan's communications)
38 ¶ I speak that which I have seen with my Father: and ye do that which ye have seen with your father. ( Sons speak & do what their spiritual leaders communicate to them.)
39 They answered and said unto him, Abraham is our father. Jesus saith unto them, If ye were Abraham’s children, ye would do the works of Abraham.
40 But now ye seek to kill me, a man that hath told you the truth, which I have heard of God: this did not Abraham.
(Jesus - I have heard of God, it means He was listening while God was speaking, they were listening to Satan.)
41 Ye do the deeds of your father. Then said they to him, We be not born of fornication; we have one Father, even God.
42 Jesus said unto them, If God were your Father, ye would love me: for I proceeded forth and came from God; neither came I of myself, but he sent me.
43 Why do ye not understand my speech? even because ye cannot hear my word. (If they cannot hear Jesus it is because they listen to Satan with their mind/heart )
44 Ye are of your father the devil, and the lusts of your father ye will do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and abode not in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaketh a lie, he speaketh of his own: for he is a liar, and the father of it.
( Satan speaks to them and even implants his desires <lusts> into them, they do not use God's power to repel these things, they drink them in and follow them - so they Biblically hear and listen, and are changed into harmony with the speaker - Satan )
Looking up the word thoughts in online Bible I can not find a single verse affording Satan the divine power to read thoughts, John the Baptist, and prophets, and Jesus had it, so then it is the work of the Holy Ghost in a person and it is on loan for as long as the Holy Ghost decides it ought to stay. It is not a power originated by any created creature, even the rebellious Lucifer & the 1/3 of the rebellious angels lost it, once they rebelled.
