Phil,
I have often wondered about the devil being able to know our thoughts or 
read our minds.  I have a sister who is always saying don't say it out loud 
so the devil doesn't know it.  I would think that the Holy Spirit, since He 
is part of the godhead, can also know our thoughts.  Knowing our thoughts 
doesn't make Him responsible for what we think nor does it keep us from 
being able to think what we wish.  So, I would say it doesn't affect our 
free will.


Just my two cents worth.
