God Is My Salvation – Lifehouse Everything Skit

September 15, 2011 in Blog by Abigail Abanilla

This short video clip, without billions of dollars spent on production, no promotions or any sort of paid ads, has drawn millions of viewers. It was performed last 2006 at the Smoky Mountain Winterfest in Knoxville, Tennessee. It was performed by Mission Baltimore with music from Lifehouse, “Everything”. The impact this clip had is indescribable, it was one the most viewed youtube video, and it still is. More and more people continue to fall in love with Jesus after watching this short clip. According to CBN, there were many testimonies after watching the video. People from across the seas are touched by the amazing power of God working through this. It is now being used by some people in spreading the Gospel.

Watch the video below.

The skit is very straight to the point and only has a simple message. And I admit, I still cry everytime I watch this. And I’ve watched this so many times already. Since 2007. Here’s an excerpt taken from a CBN article about the message delivered through this short clip:

The drama focuses on the spiritual warfare being fought for our souls.

At the beginning of the skit, the young woman indulges in the pure joy and innocence of finding her first love in Jesus, as He shows her all the wonderful things He has done and has in store for her.

But this blissful moment becomes tarnished by seemingly harmless distractions, which turn into temptations and ultimately into deadly sins.

The fallen spiritual forces at work begin their relentless attack on the young woman, who takes her eyes off Jesus and sets them on the world.

She finds herself overcome by all the vices made to look so attractive in life: sexual impurity, greed for money, drinking, bulimia, and cutting.

The lies that she has been told about her worthlessness and inability to measure up lead her into depression, attempted suicide, and ultimately into a desperation that spurs her to once again seek her first love.

Only after the woman hits rock bottom does she remember the true source of her joy — a relationship with Christ.

But she’s not alone as she battles to regain the abundant life Jesus has given her. Unable to fend off the enemy’s spiritual attack on her own, she puts her eyes back on Jesus, who is waiting for her call for help.

Eager to step in and fight the battle for His bride, Jesus fends off and defeats the demonic attackers who are after her very soul and life.

We are reminded that Christ already won the battle for our souls on the cross, and that we have victory over our sins through our hope and redemption in Jesus.

It affirms I John 4:4: “You dear children, are from God and have overcome them, because the one who is in you is greater than the one who is in the world.”
