This know also, that in the last days perilous times shall come. For men shall be lovers of their own selves, covetous, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy, Without natural affection, trucebreakers, false accusers, incontinent, fierce, despisers of those that are good, Traitors, heady, highminded, lovers of pleasures more than lovers of God; Having a form of godliness, but denying the power thereof: from such turn away. (2 Timothy 3:1-5)
Greetings once again from the Breakers,
Happy New Year! It’s hard to believe it’s already 2013. Of all the years for the Lord to come back, this would be a great one, especially since it has the number “13” in it! (That being, of course, the number of Nimrod, and the number of Rebellion). And, if the rapture were this year, then seven years of tribulation would put the Second Advent at the year 2020. How interesting, for we say a person with 20/20 vision has perfect eye sight. And, the Scriptures do say that “every eye shall see him” when Jesus returns at Armageddon! It just might be wishful thinking on my part, but I do hope this is the year of our Lord’s return!
WATCHING
WATCHING
One thing is for sure, we certainly are in the last days. And we are seeing the things mentioned in the above verses, and they grow worse at a much faster rate than ever before. Not only are there problems world-wide, but we are seeing things happen in our country as well that are most troubling. Many of my friends, family, cohorts, and fellow ministers, believe that we just might see martial law in the United States in the next few years, (if not sooner, like the next few months), and they are actively preparing for that. (Go to: www.infowars.com for more about what’s happening and why they think that way). I used to believe it was silly to prepare, thinking the rapture surely must come first, so why should I care? But a while back I thought, “Hmmm. Maybe stocking up on food, batteries, medicine, supplies, etc., isn’t a bad idea. For if the rapture does come, then those things will be left here for those in the tribulation, and they just might need them to live on, so they don’t take the mark of the beast!”
So I highly recommend preparing for something, even if you don’t ever use it. It’s always better to be safe than sorry!
WITNESSING
Some Christians frown upon talking about the evil in the world and the emerging New World Order, thinking that people who speak about it are preachers of doom and gloom and are interested only in the Physical, rather than focusing on the Spiritual. But we try to have a balance, warning others of the wrath to come, while trying to give them the good news of the Gospel. My wife and I have thought for some time, that the only way to truly win against Satan’s New World Order is to be saved yourself and to win people to Jesus, for that will be one less soul the antichrist will reign over in the tribulation! That’s why we don’t tell people, like some Preachers, “Fight the New World Order!” Rather, we encourage people to preach the Gospel and pray for Christ’s soon return.
These last two months God gave me some great opportunities to witness to friends and family over the holiday season. I also love this time of year for witnessing to those bell ringers from the Salvation Army. I ask them, “Oh, you’re with the Salvation Army! Great! Can you tell me how to get saved?” They usually are caught off guard, as most of them aren’t even saved themselves. This gives a great opportunity to give them the Gospel.
Laura and I have also been printing more tracts and passing them out in public places. We are also much more vocal for Christ, feeling these are indeed the last days. I love it when people ask, “How are you?” I almost always respond, “Better than I deserve!” Most people don’t understand this, and some even ask me how I could say such a thing. This opens the conversation and allows me to respond: “I’m a Sinner saved by grace, and I’m on my way to heaven! So I’m better than I deserve because I truly deserve Hell. Yet, I’m not going there and it’s all because of what Jesus Christ did for me!” Some people want to hear more. Others walk away before I even finish my sentence. I’ve even had religious people tell me, “Don’t you dare say that! You’re a good person. You don’t deserve anything bad to happen to you!” It’s hard to argue with the self-righteous, but it does give you some insight into what they believe and why. They are trusting in their works just like the Pharisees of old. As the verse above states, they have a “form” of godliness, but deny the power thereof.
WORKING ON THE SPANISH BIBLE
Our home church in Monterrey is still working on the whole 1602 Purified Spanish Bible, reading and rereading it hoping to print it soon. I’ve helped a lot with this project. But while doing so, I started thinking, “I sure wish it read closer to the KJV.” So, I decided to translate directly from the King James word for word myself. And, I’ve been very busy with this, finishing the book of Genesis in December. I am now working on John, and plan to do Romans next. Then I’ll do the entire New Testament, and then the Old. I’m also checking and rechecking the old Spanish Bibles as well as the new ones, in an effort to keep as much as possible the old Spanish Reformation words. I plan to call it the Reina-Valera King James Bible. I don’t know if anyone will accept it or even want it, but it’s been a real blessing to me doing the work. Finally, the Spanish Bible reads with my King James and the Spanish says the same as the English! If I ever finish, I envision churches using both, and people that speak both English and Spanish could even meet in the same building. How great that they would be able to follow along in either language!
In the meantime I’m still behind the Valera 1602 Purified Spanish Bible, as it’s the best Spanish Bible out there as of yet. Please pray for our church as they are soon hoping to get it printed again.
WONDERING
Probably the most horrible part of life is not knowing what tomorrow will bring. My Dad used to always say, “Plan your work and work your plan.” But with the uncertain economy, our current living conditions, the impending planned destruction of our nation, and many more variables, it’s hard to know exactly what to do and how. It’s hard to make any long term plans. Will there even be any money in the future for us to use to serve the Lord, especially with the national and global looming economic collapse? These things are troubling, but we’ve determined to remain joyful, and continue steadfast in the work in the situation and the area where we are serving the Lord. Please pray for us. I have some ideas and some things I’d like to do in the future, but really need the Lord’s guidance. Please pray for this. In the meantime we are enjoying passing out tracts, witnessing, translating, and preaching. God is good, and we are excited about living in the last days, as we keep looking up!
Thanks again for all your continued prayers, your kind words and encouragement, and your sacrificial giving to us and our ministry. We love you and are praying for you as well.
Robert, Laura, Emma and Elyse Breaker,
1 Sam. 12:24!
P.S. Please pray for the salvation of Mr. Steele, a man we’ve witnessed to several times at the local flea market. He’s open to the gospel and we plan on visiting him again soon.
P.S.S. I recently saw a good documentary entitled: “Dreams from my real Father,” which gives important information about our current President and his plans for our nation. I debated on whether or not to send it with this prayer letter, but the cost of mailing DVDs deterred me from doing so. I highly recommend, however, that you seek it out and watch it, as it shows who his real Father is. And it’s not who we’ve been told it was! That video shows why there was such a debate about his birth certificate, and who his real father is. It will shock you! And, it will truly show you why the United States days are numbered. Be informed!
