Jonathan Nelson - Anything Can Happen Lyrics
Lyrics
You are about to experience
A life changing moment
You won’t be the same
The same way you came
Cos He’s in our very midst
You will be heal, delivered
He’s here to set you free
And because God is here
Anything can happen in here
In here, in here, anything can happen in here
In here, in here
This moment is designed
For God to change your life
[x3]
The heavens are open
The portals are open
My Spirit is open
For God to do anything, anything
[x2]
Because anything can happen
In here, in here,
Something good is happening in here
(Something good, something good, something good)
[x2]
Miracles are happening in here
(Miracles, miracles, miracles)
Breakthrough is happening in here
(Breakthrough, breakthrough, breakthrough)
[repeat]
I am just one praise from my breakthrough
You are just one praise from your breakthrough
Because anything can happen in here
In here, in here
Anything can happen in here

Meaning & Inspiration
Jonathan Nelson’s "Anything Can Happen," released on March 18, 2016, as part of the *Fearless (Deluxe Edition)* album, serves as more than just a song; it is a prophetic declaration and an invitation to encounter the transformative power of God. From its opening lines, the composition immediately sets an atmosphere of imminent divine intervention, preparing hearts for a moment where life-altering change is not just possible but expected. The central premise establishes that because God is present, no challenge is insurmountable, no situation is too dire, and no desired blessing is beyond reach.
The profound meaning embedded within "Anything Can Happen" stems from an unwavering belief in God’s active presence and His boundless capacity to act within the lives of His people. The lyrics assert that a profound shift is at hand: "You are about to experience a life changing moment / You won’t be the same the same way you came." This isn't mere poetic license but a firm conviction rooted in scriptural promises, such as Exodus 33:14 where God assures His presence, and Matthew 18:20, which states that where two or three gather in His name, He is there among them. Nelson’s declaration underscores that the very atmosphere of worship becomes charged with divine potential because the Creator of the universe is actively engaged.
The song builds on this foundation by highlighting specific outcomes of God's presence, promising healing, deliverance, and freedom. The assurance, "You will be heal, delivered, He’s here to set you free," resonates deeply with countless biblical accounts where God intervenes to restore and liberate. Isaiah 53:5 speaks of healing through His stripes, while Luke 4:18-19 recounts Jesus proclaiming His mission to set captives free and heal the brokenhearted. This isn't a vague hope but a confident expectation that physical, emotional, and spiritual restoration is available in the divine presence. The repeated affirmation, "Because God is here, Anything can happen in here," solidifies this core truth, echoing Jeremiah 32:27, "Behold, I am the Lord, the God of all flesh. Is there anything too hard for me?" and Luke 1:37, "For with God nothing will be impossible."
Further into the song, the concept of a "designed moment" emerges, asserting divine intentionality: "This moment is designed for God to change your life." This speaks to the purposeful nature of God’s interaction with humanity, suggesting that moments of worship and surrender are not accidental but divinely orchestrated opportunities for personal transformation. Romans 8:28 confirms this: "And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose." The subsequent imagery of "The heavens are open, The portals are open, My Spirit is open" portrays a reciprocal readiness – God’s willingness to pour out blessings meets a worshiper’s readiness to receive. This aligns with Malachi 3:10, where God invites us to test Him by giving, promising to "throw open the floodgates of heaven and pour out so much blessing that there will not be room enough to store it." An open spirit, as depicted in the lyrics, signifies a heart prepared to receive whatever God desires to impart.
The progression from "Something good is happening" to "Miracles are happening" and then "Breakthrough is happening" illustrates a divine upward trajectory. It’s an incremental journey of faith, starting with the expectation of general goodness, moving to tangible supernatural interventions, and culminating in significant breakthroughs that dismantle barriers and usher in new seasons. This sequence mirrors the testimonies found throughout Scripture, where initial acts of faith lead to greater manifestations of God’s power. The emphasis on "Breakthrough" is particularly potent, signifying a powerful push past obstacles, whether spiritual, financial, or circumstantial, much like the Israelites experienced when God opened the Red Sea or when the walls of Jericho fell.
The most compelling and actionable message culminates in the declaration, "I am just one praise from my breakthrough / You are just one praise from your breakthrough." This encapsulates a profound biblical principle: praise is not merely an expression of gratitude but a powerful spiritual weapon and a catalyst for divine intervention. When God's people offer praise, He often steps into their circumstances in miraculous ways. Psalm 22:3 reminds us that God inhabits the praises of His people. Furthermore, the story of Jehoshaphat in 2 Chronicles 20, where an army was defeated through strategic praise and worship, and the account of Paul and Silas in Acts 16, whose prison doors were supernaturally opened through their midnight songs, vividly illustrate that praise can indeed precede and usher in breakthrough. "Anything Can Happen" therefore stands as a powerful anthem of faith, inspiring individuals to engage with God’s presence, open their spirits to His work, and activate their own breakthroughs through fervent praise, knowing that with God, truly, every possibility is alive.
