'Thou art Peter, the rock, and upon this rock I will build My church....'
I certainly established a church on earth but I did not want an organisation.... I say this to all those who interpret My Word 'Thou art Peter, the rock, and upon this rock I will build My church' such that I Myself Am the founder of worldly organisations which call themselves the true church of Christ. Like all My Words these, too, were intended to be understood spiritually, in fact, they are very easy to comprehend if the faith of My disciple Peter is understood as a rock, which everyone must possess in order to belong to My true church. My church is a purely spiritual foundation; it is to be understood as a community with a faith as rock-hard as Peter's, but never the amalgamation of people in a purely secular organisation, which has to be called secular because everything that proves the affiliation to this organisation must be outwardly recognisable and because further regulations or laws were decreed which inhibit a person's thinking and actions, which entirely contradicts My will. It is My will that people wanting to belong to My church should strive towards Me of their own free will, which necessitates faith in Me as well as love.... Neither can be enforced nor achieved through regulations; love for Me does not awaken as a matter of duty but through faith in My perfection, and although this faith can be taught, it cannot be demanded. The human being must bring himself to believe after he has received knowledge of Me, of his Creator and Father of eternity. A human being only becomes a member of My church through this self-attained faith, therefore My church cannot be an organisation with a mass of members who lack living, self-attained faith. For although faith and love are being preached, the listeners must nevertheless first activate their will in order to acquire the right of belonging to the church which was founded by Me.
And therefore I repeatedly emphasise that people could not have formed this church by establishing an organisation in which, like in any worldly organisation, leaders of various ranks work, to whom I have never appointed such a ministry, whose functions are more of a ruling than a serving nature and who are often not members of the church I founded themselves because they, too, only believe blindly what they were taught and as yet have neither acquired a convinced faith through deliberation nor a living faith through activity of love. Hence these believe themselves to be My representatives on earth, and yet they are unable to convey truthful knowledge to people because they don't possess it themselves. They feel that they are Peter's successors but they are not because their faith lacks the strength of a rock as soon as it is tested. The church founded by Me will prove itself.... not even the gates of hell will defeat it. But once the walls of the former are shaken, which is intended by My will, it will not survive and only blindly believing fanatics will remain steadfast but not on account of conviction but because of fanaticism which is not valued by Me as faithfulness. For I want people to think about everything they encounter, and it is My will that they shall acquire vision and don't remain blind due to their own fault. I also want them to think about My Words: Thou art Peter, and upon this rock I will build my church; and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it.... I want people to reflect on how these Words of Mine are to be understood: It is My will that they should be truthfully interpreted and you humans also recognise when human interpretation does not correspond to the spiritual meaning which I have placed into My Words. And you will be able to recognise it if you dwell on it with willingness for the pure truth when you are taught by those who call themselves My representatives on earth. My true representatives are certainly informed of the truth and can therefore also provide their fellow human beings with a correct explanation regarding My Word and its deeper spiritual meaning. However, My representatives also belong to the church founded by Me, even though they are not members of an earthly organisation. My true representatives will also announce in My name to all spiritual organisations the end of their existence, because everything that has distanced itself from the real truth will fade away, even if people are convinced that that church will be invincible. Only the church which I Myself have founded on earth will be invincible, which is a spiritual community of those with a faith like Peter's and who, through this faith, shape themselves into My image, who can indeed have a living faith because they are instructed in the truth, who allow My spirit to be effective in them, which always is and will remain a sign of affiliation to the church I have founded....

'TI SI PETER SKALA, IN NA TEJ SKALI BOM ZGRADIL SVOJO CERKEV'
Zagotovo sem Jaz ustanovil Cerkev na zemlji, vendar nisem želel organizacije....To pravim vsem tistim, ki razlagajo Moje Besede 'Ti si Peter, skala, in na tej skali bom zgradil svojo Cerkev' tako, da bom sam ustanovitelj posvetnih organizacij, ki se imenujejo prava Kristusova cerkev. Kot vse Moje Besede so bile tudi te namenjene duhovnemu razumevanju, pravzaprav jih je zelo enostavno razumeti, če vero Mojega učenca Petra razumemo kot skalo, ki jo mora imeti vsak, da pripada Moji pravi Cerkvi. Moja Cerkev je čisto duhovna podlaga; razumeti jo je treba kot skupnost s tako trdno vero kot je Petrova, nikoli pa kot združevanje ljudi v čisto posvetno organizacijo, ki se mora imenovati posvetna, ker mora biti vse, kar dokazuje pripadnost tej organizaciji, navzven prepoznavno in ker so bili določeni nadaljnji predpisi ali zakoni, ki zavirajo človekovo mišljenje in dejanja, kar je popolnoma v nasprotju z Mojo Voljo. Moja Volja je, da ljudje, ki želijo pripadati Moji Cerkvi, stremijo k Meni po svoji lastni svobodni volji, kar zahteva vero Vame, prav tako kot Ljubezen... Ne eno niti drugo ni mogoče uveljaviti ali doseči s predpisi; Ljubezen do Mene se ne prebudi kot stvar dolžnosti, ampak skozi vero v Mojo popolnost, in čeprav se te vere lahko uči, je ni mogoče zahtevati. Človeško bitje se mora prepričati, da verjame, potem ko prejme znanje o Meni, svojem Stvarniku in Očetu od večnosti. Človek postane član Moje Cerkve šele s to vero, ki jo je sam dosegel, zato Moja Cerkev ne more biti ena sama organizacija z množico članov, ki nimajo žive vere, ki so jo dosegli sami. Kajti čeprav se pridigata vera in ljubezen, morajo poslušalci vendarle najprej aktivirati svojo voljo, da pridobijo pravico pripadati Cerkvi, ki sem jo Jaz ustanovil. In zato Jaz vedno znova poudarjam, da te Cerkve ljudje ne bi mogli oblikovati tako, da bi ustanovili organizacijo, v kateri, kot v vsaki posvetni organizaciji, delujejo voditelji različnih rangov, ki jim nikoli nisem dodelil takšne službe, katerih funkcije so bolj vladarske in ne kot narava služenja, in ki pogosto niso člani Cerkve, ki sem jo sam osebno ustanovil, saj tudi oni samo slepo verjamejo, kar so jih učili, in še niso pridobili prepričane vere s premišljevanjem ali žive vere z delovanjem Ljubezni. Zato mislijo, da so Moji predstavniki na Zemlji, vendar niso sposobni posredovati resničnega znanja ljudem, saj ga sami ne posedujejo. Čutijo, da so Petrovi dediči, vendar niso, saj njihova vera nima trdnosti skale, takoj ko je preizkušena. Cerkev, ki sem jo Jaz ustanovil se bo izkazala... tudi vrata pekla je ne bodo premagala. Toda ko se bodo zidovi prvega zamajali, kar je posledica Moje volje, ne bo preživela in samo fanatiki, ki slepo verjamejo, bodo ostali neomajni, vendar ne zaradi prepričanja, ampak zaradi fanatizma, ki ga Jaz ne cenim kot zvestobo.
Kajti Jaz želim, da ljudje razmišljajo o vsem, s čimer se srečajo, in Moja volja je, da pridobijo vizijo in ne ostanejo slepi zaradi lastne napake. Želim tudi, da razmišljajo o Mojih Besedah: 'Ti si Peter in na tej skali bom zgradil svojo Cerkev; in peklenska vrata je ne bodo premagala...' (Mt 16,18). Jaz zahtevam, da ljudje razmislijo o tem, kako naj razumejo te Moje Besede: Moja Volja je, da se jih razlaga v Resnici, in vi ljudje prav tako prepoznate, kdaj človeška razlaga ne ustrezajo duhovnemu pomenu, ki sem ga položil v Moje Besede. In lahko ga boste prepoznali, če boste o tem razmišljali s pripravljenostjo za čisto resnico, ko vas bodo učili tisti, ki se imenujejo Moji predstavniki na zemlji. Moji resnični predstavniki so vsekakor obveščeni o Resnici in lahko zato tudi svojim bližnjim zagotovijo pravilno razlago glede Moje Besede in njenega globljega duhovnega pomena. Vendar Moji predstavniki prav tako pripadajo cerkvi, ki sem jo Jaz ustanovil, čeprav niso člani zemeljske organizacije. Moji pravi predstavniki bodo tudi v Mojem imenu vsem duhovnim organizacijam oznanjali konec njihovega obstoja, saj bo vse, kar se je oddaljilo od prave Resnice, postopoma izginilo, tudi če bodo ljudje prepričani, da bo cerkev nepremagljiva. Samo Cerkev, ki sem jo Sam osebno ustanovil na zemlji, bo nepremagljiva, to je duhovna skupnost tistih z vero, kot je Petrova in ki se skozi to vero oblikujejo po Moji podobi, ki imajo lahko resnično živo vero, saj so poučeni v Resnice, ki dovoljujejo, da v njih deluje Moj Duh, kar vedno je in ostaja znak pripadnosti Cerkvi, ki sem jo sam ustanovil.
