God said "Let us Go go down." This is God talking among himself. This is how God makes his decisions. He thinks much as we think. But God's thinking is done distinctly by each of his 3 persons talking to each other. The Father takes the leading role and makes the final decision. And once it is made, all 3 persons abide by it.

Let's say this: God's person is who he is. This makes Jesus God in 2 ways. First, he knows himself as God. This is evidenced by the fact that he said in Exodus that he is "The Lord thy God who brought thee out of the land of Egypt, out of the land of bondage." Second, he is aware of the fact that the Father and the Holy Spirit are God too, the same God he is.

This is why, as God, he made mention of them in his daily speech. Thus, his prayers were designed to point out the Father's role as sending the Son, and his speech pointed put the Holy Spirit's role as God inspiring us to believe.

But again, Jesus is the way this information is revealed to us!
