If the Holy Spirit is described as God’s “power” (Acts 1:8), does this contradict His being a divine Hypostasis?

The answer

St. Ambrose says, “In this place he used the word Power, and implied the Spirit. For as the Father is Power, so, too, the Son is Power, and the Holy Spirit is Power. Of the Son you have read that Christ is ‘the Power of God and the Wisdom of God’ (1 Cor. 1:24). We read, too, that the Father is Power, as it is written: ‘You shall see the Son of Man sitting at the right hand of the Power of God’ (Matt. 26:64).”⁹⁰¹
