The matter is describable in terms of a set of properties that are constant therefore the matter in this sense simply exists and has no potentiality. The matter, however, moves toward an end because it is out of equilibrium, therefore, matter in this sense is in potentiality. This means that there are two scenarios that we need to distinguish them, there is no potentiality in its existence whereas there is a potentiality in its motion.

You can say that matter endures the progression of change while the natures that are made of matter may or may not, but you cannot say that matter is not actualizing it’s potential and therefore not actualizing a potential state of existence that did not exist prior; it’s just never not matter. Unless of course you consider matter as being an entirely different thing existing independently from the natures and processes that make up the universe.

1. Matter

physical substance in general, as distinct from mind and spirit; (in physics) that which occupies space and possesses rest mass, especially as distinct from energy.

That’s not true. Your definition said that matter was distinct from energy. But matter can change. Into energy. Some guy called Albert devised some theories that incorporated that fact.
 
So when you said: ‘it’s just never not matter’, that would be…wrong?
Stt is saying that matter does not change. To which i replied you can only say that matter is never not matter in the sense that matter endures change. But i did not mean that matter is not made of energy or that matter cannot become energy. I admit that would be an error.
