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.

Eternal or Everlasting life; which is it?

John 3:16 (KJV)   “ For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life .” Why everlasting life, why not eternal life?   is there a difference and if so what? Most resources I have available were of the opinion that they are the same.   I needed to dig deeper.   I soon found that all of man’s ideas on the subject were based on their opinion and very little scripture if any, then the easily discounted.   If I am to find the answer I seek, which is truth; I need to consult scripture.   Words in blue aren’t scripture. “Let a man so account of us ( Paul and his fellow workers ), as of the ministers of Christ, and stewards of the mysteries of God.   1 Corinthians 4:1.   So I was right to search the scriptures concerning my question: to find this answer in His Word. When I started this word study the first thing I noticed was that the most sig...

Importance of Resurrection

1 Corinthians 15:17  Authorized (King James) Version (AKJV):   “ And if Christ be not raised, your faith  is  vain; ye are yet in your sins.” I am amazed at how ignorant most are of their salvation.   I will ask “Why, do you think you’ll go to heaven?” or   What happens when you die?”   ninety nine out of a hundred will answer with “Jesus died for my sins.”   True; “Jesus died for the sins of the world, “Behold the Lamb of God, which taketh away the sin of the world.”   John1:29b.   That is most true but also is “and if Christ be not raised, your faith  is  vain; ye are yet in your sins.”   Jesus had to die for the purpose of removing sin, “to wit, that God was in Christ, reconciling the world unto himself, not imputing their trespasses unto them; and hath committed unto us the word of reconciliation.”   2 Corinthians 5:19.   But this reconciliation can only come when one believes the gospel as pres...

When did the "Church" begin for us today ? ? ?

1 Timothy 1:15-16  (King James Version 1611):  " This is  a faithful saying, and worthy of all acceptation, that Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners; of whom I am chief (first, beginning Strong's Concordance # 4413).  Howbeit for this cause I obtained mercy, that in me first Jesus Christ might show forth all longsuffering, for a pattern to them which should hereafter believe on him for life everlasting. The "Church" didn't start with Peter and his presentation of Acts 2:38.  The "Church" started when Paul was on the Damascus Road.  Then it took numerous years in the desert for Paul to come to the understanding of "Faith plus nothing" (Les Feldick).  We are saved by grace through faith, who's faith (Romans 1:17)? "For this cause I Paul, the prisoner of Jesus Christ for you Gentiles,  If you have heard of the dispensation of the grace of God which is given me to you-ward: How that by revelation (Galatians 1:11-12) he ma...
