Jesus had ever lived in communion with His Father. Nothing had ever broken their communion, it was The Communion — The Fellowship. No-one else was in it but God — Father, Son and Holy Ghost. Cherubim and Seraphim adored and worshipped and served the glorious and mighty three who enjoyed but one Life and Being. With admiring eyes and wondering hearts they hovered around and waited upon their God and King to do His will, yet they were not in The Communion they beheld. But the man Jesus was ever in that holy Communion. On coming to earth He laid aside much, but not that; all the fullness of the Godhead dwelt in Him bodily.
Being made a little lower than the angels for the suffering of death, He lived on earth as an only-begotten with a father. He only came out from God because Father longed to have many other sons like Jesus with Him in that same Communion. But how? How were they to accomplish it? Could it really be done, and if so when and where? At which point could it be arranged for men to enter into the Communion of the Holy Three? God thought out a plan, charged Jesus with it and commissioned Him to create this opening for men. Therefore, sanctified and sent into the world, His was the duty both to be, and to make the way whereby His Father's and His own wishes should be fulfilled.

G.W. North (1913 - 2003)
G. W. North was born in London England in 1913. As a young man he became aware that the Lord was calling him into the work of the ministry. At timely stages the Lord placed folk in his path who were able to direct him into the truth of heart purity and a more expansive understanding of the ministry of the Holy Spirit. He held pastorates in Kent and Bradford. By the late 1960s, following a significant period of ministry in Liverpool, he began a more itinerant ministry. This led him to many parts of the world, and occupied him until well into his eighties. His powerful preaching and the unique sense of the Lord's presence, which seemed to brood over his meetings, were always intensely challenging.The true secret of his remarkable ministry stemmed from his personal communion with the Lord Jesus. To him, 'entering the holiest' was not merely a theological concept; it was a distinct spiritual reality - and the central feature of his spiritual life. It was here, in the place of worship, that his revelatory ministry found its source. He preached from understanding and conviction. He was never the echo of another, nor did he take on board the ebb and flow of various contemporary emphases. He was not a man of 'books'; he soaked himself in Scripture and allowed it to saturate his heart and mind. Truly, this is a man who has lifted up a standard for the people. Mr North went to be with the Lord on 29th April 2003, shortly after his ninetieth birthday.
