Can satan hear ones prayers



Romans 8:26 (AKJV):  “Likewise the Spirit also helpeth our infirmities: for we know not what we should pray for as we ought: but the Spirit itself maketh intercession for us with groanings which cannot be uttered.”

Should the believer, those in Christ being the body pray aloud? pray whispering or silently?  What sayeth the scripture?

“Evening, and morning, and at noon, will I pray, and cry aloud: and he shall hear my voice.”  Psalms 55:17 (praying aloud)
“But when ye pray, use not vain repetitions, as the heathen do: for they think that they shall be heard for their much speaking.” Matthew 6:7  (how not to pray)
“And when he had sent the multitudes away, he went up into a mountain apart to pray: and when the evening was come, he was there alone.”   alone.” Matthew 14:23  (praying alone)
“After this manner therefore pray ” Matthew 6:9        (prayer instruction)
“And he went a little further, and fell on his face, and prayed, saying, O my Father, if it be possible, let this cup pass from me: nevertheless not as I will, but as thou wilt.”  Matthew 26:39   (praying out loud)

I do believe the most effective prayer one can give is to pray in the scriptures as Christ did.  “It is written;  for it is written; It is said, Thou shall not tempt the Lord thy God; he (satan) departed from him for a season”  Matthew 4:4, 8,12 & 13.  David encourages us to know scripture writing: “Thy word have I hid in mine heart, that I might not sin against thee.” Psalms 119:11 and “Thy word is a lamp unto my feet, and a light unto my path.” Psalms 119:105.  

Paul directs believers to “Pray without ceasing.”  1 Thessalonians 5:17.  So is there a formula or position to use in prayer?  Out loud, quietly, praying scripture or not, standing, kneeling,  face to the ground?  It’s not the position of the body or the words spoken necessarily but the heart, the knowledge and the truth of  the person attempting to speak wth/too God. 

When praying one should want satan to know to whom one praying and why.  Don’t believe satan and minions can read thoughts but can read ones actions and body language to such a degree he knows how to place thoughts into our mind to fit my immediate condition.  We need to know and learn where not to go and when to be on guard.  That one needs to speak in full faith that their pray is being heard by God.  Needing to speak from my heart and deliver our concerns, requests and supplications a loud.  Too also have the assurance that when in error the Holy Spirit will intercede  
on our behalf to fulfill His will in my life as well as others.   

But first one needs to know their a sinner, if not already, agreeing with God,  
“For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God;” Romans 3:23  then believing the gospel for today as given by Paul;  “Moreover, brethren, I declare unto you the gospel which I preached unto you, which also ye have received, and wherein ye stand;  by which also ye are saved, if ye keep in memory what I preached unto you, unless ye have believed in vain.  For I delivered unto you first of all that which I also received, how that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures;  and that he was buried, and that he rose again the third day according to the scriptures:”  1 Corinthians 15:1-4.

Was he saved? How?

  “The heart  is  deceitful above all  things, and desperately wicked: who can know it?”J eremiah 17:9   “ He that hath clean hands, and a pure heart; who hath not lifted up his soul unto vanity, nor sworn deceitfully.” Psalm 24:4   All scripture references are taken from the Authorized (King James) Versions unless other wise noted. There was a man who once lived alone, he was what is often called a hermit a vagabond.   He had never been told of God, Jesus or the gospel as given from the Bible. He knew in his heart, that there was something, something outside himself, something was needed to make himself complete.   Several years previously while scrounging and looking for anything useful he discovered a Bible.   He put it away, safely where he lived and forgot about it.   Some years later there was a harsh winter storm, frozen deep snow had completely shut him in.   Although secure in his abode and safe from the destructive winter he would survive.   He had no electricit

Concluding then?

 I  have been doing these on this platform for now on 4 years.  Before I used other platforms since 2010 or thereabouts.  I have never had one question and only one comment in all those years.  I did have one correction when one reader observed that I had referenced 1 Corinthians when actually I should have used 2 Corinthians, that was about six or seven years ago.    I now place my thoughts and understandings on Facebook  In His service;   James Brown

Why the "authorized" KJV?

"Wherefore art thou  red in thine apparel, and thy garments like him that treadeth in the winefat."  Isaiah 63:2 [in context read 63:1-6]  " A certain man planted a vineyard, and set a hedge about it , and digged a place for the winefat,"  Mark 12:1b and c.   While listening to a recent TV minister I observed what I thought at the time a miss-spelling in the text of the Bible I currently use, in which I have found several.  It's a King James Version "Authorized", and have often wondered what's the difference between the given as "authorized" and the other not.   After some research and consideration, I saw this.  Thinking it was a textural error I checked several other KJV authorized and non-authorized finding they all used the word winevat.  But the authorized used both "vat" and "fat".  So why the disparity in the spelling and only used in those two places in scripture? To me, it was getting interesting.  I have lear
