HOLY SPIRIT CLASS l "Divine References " l School of the Bible l VidDevoChurch

Divine References

Divine references also are made concerning  the Holy Spirit. For example,  in Acts 5:3,  Peter  first  accuses  Ananias  of  lying  to  the  Holy  Spirit,  then  quickly  adds, "You have not lied to men but to God."

Peter reasons  that if someone has  lied to the Spirit, he has  lied to God. The two are equal; the Spirit is God.

In II Corinthians 3:18, Paul  speaks of our being transformed  from glory  to glory "by  the  Spirit  of  the  Lord."  

The  newer  translations  have  more  correctly  and literally  rendered  the  phrase,  "By  the  Lord,  the  Spirit"  (in  Greek,  hupo  kurios pneumatos). 

He means the  Lord is the Spirit, or the Spirit is the Lord. They are
one and the same.

HOLY SPIRIT CLASS l "The Holy Spirit is omnipotent. " l School of the Bible l VidDevoChurch

The Holy Spirit  is omnipotent. 

 When  an angel announced  to Mary  that God  had chosen her as the vessel to bring the Messiah  into the world, she asked how that
could be,  since  she  was  a  virgin. 

 The  angel answered  her,  "The  Holy Spirit will come upon  you,  and  the  power  of  the  Highest  will  overshadow  you;  therefore,
also, that Holy One who is to be born will be called the Son of God" (Luke 1:35).

The angel made it clear that the Holy Spirit is the power of the Highest. All three members  of  the  Godhead  worked  together  in  what  has  been  called  "the immaculate conception." And the result was the incarnation of the Son of God.

HOLY SPIRIT CLASS l "The Spirit is omniscient. " l School of the Bible l VidDevoChurch

The Spirit is omniscient. 

Paul tells us in I Corinthians 2:10,11:

But God  has  revealed  them  to  us  through  His Spirit.  For  the Spirit  searches  all things,  yes,  the  deep  things  of  God.  For  what man  knows  the  things  of  a man except the spirit of the man which is in him? 

Even so no one knows the things of God except the Spirit of God.

The Spirit  knows all things,  even  the deep  things of God. Whatever  God  knows, the  Spirit  knows.  And  since  God  knows  everything,  so  does  the  Spirit.  

He  is omniscient.

HOLY SPIRIT CLASS l "The Holy Spirit is omnipresent." l School of the Bible l VidDevoChurch

The Holy Spirit is omnipresent.

 David asked in Psalm 139:7-10:

Where  can  I go  from  Your Spirit? Or where  can  I  flee  from  Your presence?  If  I ascend  into  heaven,  You  are  there;  if  I  make  my  bed  in  hell,  behold,  You  are there. 

If I take the wings of the morning, and dwell  in the uttermost parts of the sea, even  there Your hand shall lead me, and Your right hand shall hold me. 

The Spirit of God is everywhere present. In heaven He is there; in hell He is there; in the  uttermost  parts  of  the  sea  He  is  there.  

We  cannot  flee  from  the  Spirit

because He is everywhere.

HOLY SPIRIT CLASS l "Attributes of Deity" l School of the Bible l VidDevoChurch

Attributes of Deity

Another way  to  see  the deity of  the Spirit  is  to note  the many divine  attributes the Scriptures declare Him to have.
He  is  eternal.  Hebrews  9:14  says,  "How  much  more  shall  the  blood  of  Christ, who through  the  eternal Spirit  offered  Himself  without  spot  to  God,  purge  your conscience  from  dead  works  to  serve  the  living  God?"  

Notice  that  the  blood  of Christ  through  the  eternal  Spirit purges  your  conscience  from  dead  works  to serve the living God. Once more, a reference to the Trinity.
