The skit was originally performed at the 2006 Smoky Mountain Winterfest in Knoxville, Tennessee USA by Mission Baltimore, with music by Lifehouse. The video was uploaded on You Tube on February 2007 and it has been viewed more than 13 million times to date.

Here is the synopsis of the drama, as penned by Michael F. Haverluck of CBNNews.com:

“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.”

The skit was performed by some churchmates when we had an outreach at Brgy. Pindangan in Sison, Pangasinan last May 2010. It was done outdoors, in the middle of a farmer’s field, with the majestic skies and mountains as the backdrop.

I was deeply moved by the presentation, seeing how beautiful God’s plans are for us but we just fall on the claws of sin and get hurt. I was reminded of God’s ever flowing love and forgiveness for all of us, even reaching out His hand to bring us back to Him. I just pray, “Lord, thank you for not letting go of me.”

“And how can I stand here with You and not be moved by You
Would You tell me how could it be any better than this…”
