What abilities and powers do Spirits, Angels and Demons that have been documented in and out of the bible?

The book of Job gives us a very good demonstration of Satan and his army and how much power they have. God let Satan test Job. He was allowd to destroy Job's children, servants, livestock, herdsmen and home; Satan attacked Job physically, covering him with painful sores.

He even let him have some control over the weather. He caused a wind storm to blow down Job's house and fire to fall from the sky.

Demons and Satan cannot read thoughts, only God has that ability. Demons cannot see the future either. Both Demons and Angels are very powerful beings. Some Demons that are in high "ranking" can be more powerful than some angels, as seen in the book of Daniel. Of course, Jesus who is more powerful than any spirit except God, and God who is more powerful than everything, are both more powerful than any Demon or Satan will ever be. Oh but Demons can make up a pretend fake future, that might be similar to what really happens, but they cannot really see the future. It is like telling a child that if he puts his hand in the fire it will burn him. You did not foresee the future, but if the child puts his hand in the fire, it may seem as if you did.

About the part of the bible that talks about the high ranked Demon which was actually pushed out of the way easily by a high rank angel, the demon was the Prince Of Persia. (Turns out Satan set up his Demons like an organization that rules over certain parts of the world. It is weird.) You can find the story in chapter 10 of the book of Daniel.
