In what way did Satan fill the heart of Ananias?

Actes 5:3 (NEG79)

3 Pierre lui dit: Ananias, pourquoi Satan a-t-il rempli ton cœur, au point que tu mentes au Saint-Esprit, et que tu aies retenu une partie du prix du champ?

Satan is opposed to God and his plans. He wants to destroy God’s church and prevent the Good News of Jesus from being widely proclaimed. In filling the heart of Ananias, Satan tempted him with the desire to impress the apostles and the wider community of believers. This is similar to what happened with Judas (Luke 22:3) who was also motivated by money (Luke 22:5).
