Sovereignty and Lordship. The Holy Spirit is the Executor of the things of God and He exercises the full measure of divine sovereignty.

 

1CO 12:11 But one and the same Spirit works all these things, distributing to each one individually just as He wills.

 

2CO 3:17 Now the Lord is the Spirit; and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is liberty.

 

There can be no doubt that the Scriptures dogmatically teach the deity of the Holy Spirit. The very title “Holy Spirit” testifies to this vital truth.

            The deity of the Holy Spirit is revealed to us by the titles used to describe Him. In the Word of God He is called:

My Spirit, GEN 6:3.

The Spirit of God, GEN 1:2, MAT 3:16.

The Spirit of the Lord, LUK 4:18.

The Spirit of Jehovah, JDG 3:10.

The Spirit of the Lord God, ISA 61:1.

The Holy Spirit of God, EPH 4:30.

The Spirit of the living God, 2CO 3:3.

The Spirit of our God, 1CO 6:11.

The Lord, the Spirit, 2CO 3:18.

The Eternal Spirit, HEB 9:14.

The Spirit of Glory, 1PE 4:14.

The Spirit of Life in Christ Jesus, ROM 8:2.

 

 

There are seven special ministries that are bestowed by God the Holy Spirit on the Church-age believer at the moment of salvation, creating a final and eternal relationship.
