What are some of the strategies of Satan?
Can he try to get to us through our thoughts. Music? TV?
Past mistakes? I need your opinion on this please.

Satan will try anything and use any method to try and get to you. All you got to do is trust in God and ask Him to protect you and He will. Then there is nothing that satan can do to get to you. Just trust in God to protect you and show you the way. God bless and take care.

First you need to know that almost everything material about this world has Satan's work behind it. He will use any method he can to corrupt you. Your thoughts, a stranger you pass on the street, TV, Music, Movies, temptations, friends, family, even in your dreams while you sleep. Its unsettling to know that he can get so close to us. Sometimes, you don't even know he's doing it. You have to put faith in the Lord to keep him away from you and allowing him to guide you in the wrong direction. When you feel that he's using something or someone against, start praying and ask the Lord to send protection and demand Satan to leave you in the name of Jesus Christ, the Lord. Believe it or not, it works. You have to really want that though. Sometimes it's hard because what Satan is showing you might not always seem so bad. But you just have to be stronger than him, and with the Lord by your side that's an easy task.

I've always been taught that Satan is sin, and that he's the temptation to do something wrong. Past mistakes are memories, reminders to not do something wrong again, not ways for Satan to get into you. I was born and raised Roman Catholic, so if my theory seems somewhat off or incorrect, it's probably that.
Though, if Satan does use music as a means to get into you, it's most certainly rap music. And, again, this comes from a die-hard rock and roll fan who thinks rap is the downfall of humankind.

Satan will use anything to get your attention. Your friends, TV, music, work, etc. I am not sure why you are asking this question, but the more you grow in Christ, the more Satan will attack you. Just trust in the Lord to protect you and pray for discernment so you will be able to see what is coming at you.

All that you mentioned plus many more. Satan is very active because he knows the end is near and he is defeated waiting to be thrown into the pit of fire. Anything evil and most things that don't seem evil are his tools. Satan can get to us easiest when we are alone. That is why we need to meet together in a good church and make it known who we worship.

According to the Bible, Satan was the fallen Arch-Angel. He went against God and decided to try and get as many of God's followers as possible. According to religious theories, he can get us through all of the things you mentioned. But if you truly repent of your past mistakes, God will forgive you.

He is cunning, he can also work through other people also, but i believe if you are strong enough, you will not be easily influenced, as a child growing up in a christian family i was always told that it is the very things that we love, such as music,etc that these are the things he uses to get to us sometimes, but i believe if you are strong and know right from wrong, and follow your conscience, sometimes it can be your guide, and don't focus on him and what he is capable of, all we can do is live our lives the best we can truthfully and honestly.

If you want to know the truth. The truth is in the Bible and only the Bible.
Satan can consume your thoughts and try to make your world a negative place basically; in whatever means possible.

Get the book linked below. It has detailed research from the past as to where the manmade rumor of "Satan" sprang up from.

Satan will use any way possible to tempt people. I think guilt from past mistakes is one of his biggest tools however, that can be defeated once you ask for forgiveness from Christ. Also, it is important to remember that the Bible says even though he can tempt you, God will not let him tempt you with anything to great to overcome.

Satan can take any form in which to trick us. He could even come as an evangelist, proclaiming to speak for God, but filling our heads with anti-Christian sentiment.
The devil doesn't do TV, as he could never get that depraved.
