The skit with music by Lifehouse, has deeply moved the hearts and souls of America, pulling people toward the forgiving and embracing Savior. After 6 millions views, more and more continue to give their lives to Jesus or recommit their relationship with Him. The skit was originally performed at the 2006 Smoky Mountain Winterfest in Knoxville, Tenn. It packed 22,000 into the Tennessee Volunteers' Thompson-Boling arena each night, and has deeply impacted God's Kingdom ever since.
The Message and Passion behind "Everything" 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. We are reminded that Christ already won the battle for us on the cross, and that we have victory over our sins through our hope and redemption in Jesus. Purchase original DVD for here.
