In this sermon excerpt, the speaker argues that the Holy Spirit is fully divine, equal to the Father and the Son, by citing three key biblical passages. Luke 1:35 links the Holy Spirit to the "power of the Most High," establishing omnipotence. 1 Corinthians 2:10‑12 describes the Spirit as knowing the deep things of God, indicating omniscience. Psalm 139:7‑12 portrays the Spirit as ever‑present, confirming omnipresence. From these attributes—omnipotence, omniscience, and omnipresence—the speaker concludes that the Holy Spirit is not a lesser or junior deity but an equal, distinct member of the Trinity.
Chapters
When I say that the Father is God, people accept that. When I say that Jesus is God, of course, true Christians accept that. But there seems to be this hesitation when I say that the Holy Spirit is God. Some Christians sort of cringe. They're slightly uncomfortable with that idea. But the Holy Spirit is no less God than the Father and the Son. Think of Luke chapter 1, verse 35, where an angel is delivering a message to Mary about the fact that she would carry the Messiah in her womb. And in that message, the power of the Most High is equated with the presence of the Holy Spirit. So the Holy Spirit is all-powerful. The Holy Spirit can do everything that God can do. In 1 Corinthians 2:10 and onward, we see that the Holy Spirit searches the deep things of God. He knows the mind of God, the nature of God, the will of God, the power of God, Everything that God knows, the Holy Spirit knows. Therefore, the Holy Spirit is all-knowing. In Psalm chapter 139, verses 7 and onward, we see that there's nowhere that you can go to escape the presence of the Holy Spirit. The Holy Spirit is everywhere present or omnipresent. So everywhere that God is, the Holy Spirit is. So the Holy Spirit is omnipotent, that is all-powerful. He's omniscient, that is, he's all-knowing. He's omnipresent. He's everywhere at all times. Therefore, the Holy Spirit is God. He's not a lesser God. He's not a junior God. The Holy Spirit is an equal member of the Trinity, distinct from the Father and the Son, but equally divine. The Holy Spirit is God.
