Things Won’t Stay The Same

Things Won’t Stay The Same

Oh, things won’t stay the same,
For change is the name of the game
All it takes for Him to move is one day
One day to bring complete change
Oh, He has much to say!

Ah LORD GOD!
Behold, Thou hast made 
The Heaven and the earth 
By Thy Great Power and Stretched Out Arm,
And there is nothing too hard for Thee

He will shake and shift the world
He will shake and shift the hearts of men
Nothing from the old will be left standing
He is bringing it ALL down
Oh, He has much to say!

The calm before the storm is almost over
Soon His Shaking will begin
Mountains will melt like wax
Many will fall to their knees
And for some, the time to repent will have passed…

For those who still stand, you will taste and know freedom—
True freedom that was meant to be
One day it will be as it always has been
And then the next, a world  unrecognizable
Do not lament for what has been lost

Let go of the past!
Let go of the old!
Let go of those things no longer needed!
Do not linger and look back
Like Lot’s wife

Oh yes, things won’t stay the same,
But you won’t need the old anymore
Because GOD will have come and set you free;
He will have broken the chains 
He will have removed the scales 

Oh yes, things won’t stay the same
They will be new and different
And yes, challenging,
But now, instead of being a slave,
You are freed under GOD’s Shining Truth!

And when He is The LORD and King over your life,
Everything changes
No longer are you alone;
You will always have Him by your side
Oh, and you will find, He has much to say!

And yes there will be darkness in this new world
But also much Light;
For GOD has decreed
The wheat to grow alongside the tares
Until the appointed time

And yes the darkness will grow darker
But the Light will grow even brighter;
For GOD has decreed this also:
That those who put their trust in Him
Will not be put to shame!

Oh, things won’t stay the same
Oh, things won’t stay the same
Oh, He has much to say
For change is the name of the game
All it takes for Him to move is one day
One day to bring complete change
Oh, He has much to say!

Ah LORD GOD!
Behold, Thou hast made 
The Heaven and the earth 
By Thy Great Power and Stretched Out Arm,
And there is nothing too hard for Thee!

3-9-24

Ah LORD God! Behold, thou hast made the heaven and the earth by thy great power and stretched out arm, and there is nothing too hard for thee.  
Jeremiah 32:17 KJV

He put another parable before them, saying, “The kingdom of heaven may be compared to a man who sowed good seed in his field, but while his men were sleeping, his enemy came and sowed weeds[a] among the wheat and went away. So when the plants came up and bore grain, then the weeds appeared also. And the servants[b] of the master of the house came and said to him, ‘Master, did you not sow good seed in your field? How then does it have weeds?’ He said to them, ‘An enemy has done this.’ So the servants said to him, ‘Then do you want us to go and gather them?’ But he said, ‘No, lest in gathering the weeds you root up the wheat along with them.  Let both grow together until the harvest, and at harvest time I will tell the reapers, “Gather the weeds first and bind them in bundles to be burned, but gather the wheat into my barn.”’”
Matthew 13:24-30

Then he left the crowds and went into the house. And his disciples came to him, saying, “Explain to us the parable of the weeds of the field.” He answered, “The one who sows the good seed is the Son of Man. The field is the world, and the good seed is the sons of the kingdom. The weeds are the sons of the evil one, and the enemy who sowed them is the devil. The harvest is the end of the age, and the reapers are angels. Just as the weeds are gathered and burned with fire, so will it be at the end of the age. The Son of Man will send his angels, and they will gather out of his kingdom all causes of sin and all law-breakers, and throw them into the fiery furnace. In that place there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth. Then the righteous will shine like the sun in the kingdom of their Father. He who has ears, let him hear. 
Matthew 13:36-43

But the path of the righteous is like the light of dawn, which shines brighter and brighter until full day. 
Proverbs 4:18

Again Jesus spoke to them, saying, “I am the light of the world. Whoever follows me will not walk in darkness, but will have the light of life.” 
John 8:12

Because, if you confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. For with the heart one believes and is justified, and with the mouth one confesses and is saved. For the Scripture says, “Everyone who believes in him will not be put to shame.” 
Romans 10:9-11

Arise, shine, for your light has come, and the glory of the Lord has risen upon you. For behold, darkness shall cover the earth, and thick darkness the peoples; but the Lord will arise upon you, and his glory will be seen upon you. And nations shall come to your light, and kings to the brightness of your rising. 
Isaiah 60:1-3

So it came between the camp of the Egyptians and the camp of Israel. Thus it was a cloud and darkness to the one, and it gave light by night to the other, so that the one did not come near the other all that night.
Then Moses stretched out his hand over the sea; and the Lord caused the sea to go back by a strong east wind all that night, and made the sea into dry land, and the waters were divided. So the children of Israel went into the midst of the sea on the dry ground, and the waters were a wall to them on their right hand and on their left. And the Egyptians pursued and went after them into the midst of the sea, all Pharaoh’s horses, his chariots, and his horsemen.
Now it came to pass, in the morning watch, that the Lord looked down upon the army of the Egyptians through the pillar of fire and cloud, and He troubled the army of the Egyptians. And He took off their chariot wheels, so that they drove them with difficulty; and the Egyptians said, “Let us flee from the face of Israel, for the Lord fights for them against the Egyptians.”
Then the Lord said to Moses, “Stretch out your hand over the sea, that the waters may come back upon the Egyptians, on their chariots, and on their horsemen.” And Moses stretched out his hand over the sea; and when the morning appeared, the sea returned to its full depth, while the Egyptians were fleeing into it. So the Lord overthrew the Egyptians in the midst of the sea. Then the waters returned and covered the chariots, the horsemen, and all the army of Pharaoh that came into the sea after them. Not so much as one of them remained. But the children of Israel had walked on dry land in the midst of the sea, and the waters were a wall to them on their right hand and on their left.
So the Lord saved Israel that day out of the hand of the Egyptians, and Israel saw the Egyptians dead on the seashore.
Exodus 14:20-30

Give her as much torment and grief as the glory and luxury she gave herself. In her heart she boasts, ‘I sit enthroned as queen. I am not a widow; I will never mourn.’ Therefore in one day her plagues will overtake her: death, mourning and famine. She will be consumed by fire, for mighty is the Lord God who judges her. 
Revelation 18:7-8

The fruit that your soul longed for has gone from you, and all the things which are rich and splendid have gone from you, and you shall find them no more at all. The merchants of these things, who became rich by her, will stand at a distance for fear of her torment, weeping and wailing, and saying, ‘Alas, alas, that great city that was clothed in fine linen, purple, and scarlet, and adorned with gold and precious stones and pearls! For in one hour such great riches came to nothing.’ Every shipmaster, all who travel by ship, sailors, and as many as trade on the sea, stood at a distance and cried out when they saw the smoke of her burning, saying, ‘What is like this great city?’ 
Revelation 18:14-18

Therefore this is what the Lord says concerning the king of Assyria:
“‘He will not enter this city or shoot an arrow here. He will not come before it with shield or build a siege ramp against it. By the way that he came he will return; he will not enter this city, declares the Lord. I will defend this city and save it, for my sake and for the sake of David my servant.’” That night the angel of the Lord went out and put to death a hundred and eighty-five thousand in the Assyrian camp. When the people got up the next morning—there were all the dead bodies! So Sennacherib king of Assyria broke camp and withdrew. He returned to Nineveh and stayed there.
2 Kings 19:32-36
