Can satan understand Speaking in Tongues?

[Esther]

We had a discussion Saturday about whether or not satan/demons can understand what you say when you speak in tongues.

Here are my thoughts on it.

If I go to China and hear someone speak in tongues in English I understand it. So if a demon understands English then they would also.

Yet, I am reminded of the scripture that says the Angels desire to look into it.

And there is another scripture that says something about tongues of men and angels. Would that not indicate two different types of tongues?

What are your thoughts?

[Malvaro]

I guess that would depend on whether Lucifer and his fallen angels can understand a "heavenly language" being angels themselves....

I want him to understand every word especially when the Lord Jesus Christ sends a tongue of rebuke.

Satan may not understand speaking in tongues I think I've heard him try speaking in tongues through a not so saintly vessel.

I believe there are different avenues of tongues. I'll do my best to explain. For example, when you pray in tongues it's not the same kind of tongues that is given during a tongues interpretation. So I do believe satan can understand some tongues especially an rebuke.

Personally I think since our prayer language we pray in during our private times of devotion comes from the Holy Spirit,the devil can't understand our praying in the spirit since our tongues are praying in a Holy Spirit inspired tongue.This is just an opinion.I don't see the devil wise enough to understand Holy Spirit tongues,it would seem above him.

Great question. I think the answer is no. Why would God let the enemy intrude on our intimate time? It would serve no purpose.

I have seen devils speak in tongues but never thought about the devil understanding tongues.
