1 Chronicles 14:11 (New American Standard Bible) So they came up to Baal-perazim, and David defeated them there; and David said, "God has broken through my enemies by my hand, like the breakthrough of waters." Therefore they named that place Baal-perazim.
Nahum 3:18-19 (New American Standard Bible) There is no relief for your breakdown, Your wound is incurable All who hear about you Will clap their hands over you, For on whom has not your evil passed continually?
A breakthrough means get through, burst through, advance, step forward, breach, penetrate, removal of barrier to progress, and to penetration of the enemy line. A breakdown means to stop working, break, to fail, to collapse, go down, crash, failure to operate, to have personal health crisis, and decomposition into parts. The difference is success or failure. Both words begin the same way with the word break and their meanings both start the same also. They both begin in adversity but it is when you reach that breaking point that they will either become a breakdown or a breakthrough. The decision is really yours, you can let adversity become your breakdown or let God use it to become your breakthrough. By allowing your adversary to overcome you, you will face failure, collapse, have a personal health crisis and your world will decompose around you. By allowing God to bring your breakthrough, you advance, remove barriers, and penetrate the enemy line. So when you get to your breaking point, who are you going to allow to win?
