 Is the Holy Spirit God? Here's what the Bible teaches. The Scripture refers to the Holy Spirit as the Spirit of God. After being baptized, Jesus came up immediately from the water and behold the heavens were open and he saw the Spirit of God descending as a dove and lighting on him. The Holy Spirit is omnipresent. I can never escape from your Spirit. I can never get away from your presence. The Holy Spirit's power is equated with the power of the Most High. So the Holy Spirit is omnipotent. The angel replied, the Holy Spirit will come upon you and the power of the Most High will overshadow you. The Holy Spirit is omniscient. No one can know a person's thoughts except that person's own spirit and no one can know God's thoughts except God's own spirit. The Holy Spirit is omnipresent, omnipotent, and omniscient. Therefore, the Holy Spirit is God.
