Light House Everything Skit

[imbakingalaska]

my friend almost committed suicide last night. this video definitely made me cry.

[DingDingDing33]

This was posted on my wall by a friend and I'm not questioning our friendship....

[BestMLGPlayer]

made me cry.. i like this so much

[lilprincess759]

I have been going through some rough things lately strong temptations and my brother told me to watch this and it really helped me. I cried my eyes out noticing how i have been going with the temptations instead of going with my savior Jesus Christ. And I now know to stop the temptation although i'm still struggling I'm doing much better. This video is amazing and beautiful to watch.

[MrNigalow]

God has not favorite color, we are all his creation, and we are blesses that we are loved by him,,

[Brigirl9]

Guys, stop fighting about the the racial backrounds of the cast members. This video has a beautiful message about God and Jesus, but many of you are caught up in ethnicity, and I find that a bit disturbing. Obviously these are God's people, and they decided they wanted to spread this message by being a part of the skit. Skin color had nothing to do with it.

[robintalex]

Wow an outstanding skit.my eyes filled with tears and throat became so heavy...................good message.

[mauigirl96761]

where doing this skit in out church...im going to play the drunk girl....i love this skit because it describes my past a lot.....thank you jesus for saving my life.....i love you JESUS!!!!!!

[junikilla13]

Bear with each other and forgive one another if any of you has a grievance against someone. Forgive as the Lord forgave you

[TheMaddiieT]

I love this video so much! And in terms of the whole race thing, i mean seriously? It's a beautiful video reflecting God's amazing love for us, let's just leave it at that. Why does everything have to be interpreted nowadays as racism or sexism, just enjoy the wonders of God <3

[littlethunder8191]

First time I saw this I cried it is beautiful and it touched my heart

[JCJKproductocts777]

Wow that is one heavy and powerful video, it never gets old it gives me chills every time.

[BIGDADDYDUKE2]

[Eronson1]

This is my favorite youtube video luv it lots

[crystaldog27997]

So passoinate i watched it in my religion class at school was so moved

[keyshaharrell]

@BigDADDYDUKE2-----I would like U to look at this video, one more time. But before you do, please Pray because God is going to give you a deeper revelation 2 your life. God has stepped in;now its time for you to step out with all of your strength. Notice the young lady tried her best with ALL her strength to get back to God. No matter how many times she was knocked down, she got UP and PRESSED forward then God said enough---Here I am. Don't give up! H wants u to give him your ALLLLL! Bless U

[BIGDADDYDUKE2]

this video has changed my life and has made my relationship with jesus better. my faith in him has increased a whole bunch. its one thing to hear ppl say u will get through,and then to read about how god will get you through but its another thing to watch god get you through. now all i really have to do is experience getting through all my pains and troubles. and watching this video was god saying he would get me through.

[keyshaharrell]

I would like for U to look at this video, one more time.But before you do,pray because God is going to give you a deeper revelation 2 your life.God has stepped in;now its time for U to step out with all your strength. Notice the girl tried with all her strength to get back to God. No matter how many times she was knocked down, she got up and pressed forward. That's when God said enough, then he covered her. Don't give up. He wants your ALL and he will show himself to U. B Blessed and PRAYERFUL!

[BIGDADDYDUKE2]

thanks i needed to hear that. like i said my faith got bigger and satans lock got tighter. im getting more depressed than ever. and ill do that. thanks again.

[keyshaharrell]

Can I share a true story with you? Just recently, there was a young man that decided to come to our church with a family member. I want to say, he is a teenager.

Well he liked the church so much that he would travel over three hours from the nearest city(Chicago) to come to church.

Saturday,(this past Saturday) while waiting on the train, he was shot 7 times, all above the waist.....cont

[keyshaharrell]

........Because of his commitment to God and his dedication, God COVERED HIM that no bullets hit his internal organs. He didn't have to have surgery

The devil can try to take you out, take your mind, kill you but GOD has that last say so. And I believe that God is a God that can do exceedingly above whatever you can imagine.

My prayer for you, is that God, gives you a mentor to walk with you, to love you and to be there for you, until you are able to stand on your own...cont

[keyshaharrell]

......Then he's going to give you someone that you can mentor to. You are a living testimony, already. Stand up my young brother and see what he has for you. Have you accepted Christ as your Lord and savior?

[BIGDADDYDUKE2]

omg thats terrible. im a teen to idk if u no or not. um ya i do talk with a few ppl strong in faith. but there just idk i no they dont understand my pain and ya. like i just want some one to quit over looking my probs because there nothing to them. because they seem so little. but wat it does to my mind, my emotions, you just couldnt imagine. i wish my pain upon no one! no one deserves to feel this way. to wake up every day and just not want to move because u feel like theres no point.

[BIGDADDYDUKE2]

and you feel like just giving up. its horrible to feel worthless all the time. to want out so bad, and u see ppl all around you getting healed but your mind is saying. wow you've been through this for so long. you've been hurting and crying out to god for so long. and nothing! nothing at all. but these ppl all around you getting healed. wen is it ur turn? or do you even get a turn? maybe ur just not cared for. no one understands u. no ones helping you. every one passes ur probs off like....

[BIGDADDYDUKE2]

there nothing. just give up. give up on ur self and everything. you cant do it. and no ones willing to help. even after giving your life to god, your life has only gone down hill. remember that time wen u had it all and you were happy? that was before god was in your life. now hes here and theres a mess. but i realize at the same time hes my only way out. hes the only one that understands. i dont have the faith i should but i still trust god.

[BIGDADDYDUKE2]

and i love him more than anything. im more than willing to feel this pain for ever after knowing wat he did for me. coming to earth as a man to die for the dumb sins i commit. and everyone commits. i owe my life to him. and if its his will then i will go through life being tormented by my thoughts and pains. cause it will all work out in the end wen i see him face to face. but last last night my mom had a dream that i came to her and was like is my face clear, and it was completely clear.

[BIGDADDYDUKE2]

and last night i had a dream that i went to walmart and there was a guy from my church there but i didnt no him, and he was reading palms but wen i went to him so he could read minds he started saying in the name of jesus christ some thing something these hands. and then he said you dont no wat these hands are gonna do. there gonna do great things. and recently ive been praying to god to give me the gift of healing. i kinda interpreted that as a sign.

[BIGDADDYDUKE2]

ya i have excepted god into my life. i got saved wen i was 11. i no that seems young and ill admit i didnt understand the meaning of being saved at that time. but i guess u can offically say i got saved at 13. but at 11 is wen i wanted god and i reached out for him. but i fully gave him my self wen i was 13. thats just wen things got really bad and i new that i couldnt continue this life on my own. or picking up god and putting him down if you no wat i mean.

[BIGDADDYDUKE2]

i cried watching this and im a 16 yr old man. it was like watching my self but the end were jesus steps in hasnt happened yet. only the part where im fiting to stay alive. i cried hard. i love this video. it really helpd.

[pleasures1wifey]

I love this ! Everytime i see it i cry !

[yungwebby]

This is so beautiful man.... God really is good..... wow...... very moving....

[michaele34]

This Skit is really touching!!! It showed me to neva give up on god! and if i fall to the floor im gona get back up and neva give up on being with God! Amen Amen... :)

[shithead1992]

whats the song called?

very meaningful

[aNdyThAoSta]

wow very touching even though i'm not christian.

[x00xcarusox00x]

why do they think this is racist..the death guy is white

[workitworkit]

What in God green Earth that color has to do with the skit. Its about Love struggles compassion strength uplifting moving forward. God please have mercy on people who try to separtate us from your word and feelings.

[80Brent08]

You have got to be joking with all of this racial nonsense. If you have the Spirit of our God living in you then change your mind about this skit. There is no prejudice in this skit AT ALL and God has been using it mightily. Stop with the race card already. It is not even real in 2009.

Our Father will continue to use this drama to turn hearts to the KIngdom!

[passionettez]

you are right this is not about race, it is all spiritual. But I differ on the part that race issues do not exist in 2009. Sadly they do. Even the other day, a justice of the peace would not marry a interracial couple.

The video does not have anything to do with RACE..

[michaele34]

i agree

[jetadorelamour]

You must be black because usually black people start with the race card in everything and yes i am using it right now to make a point in your IGNORANT POV, if you see racism in this video is because you are racist, this video shows GOD'S GRACE & MERCY, how he forgives us despite everything & takes the worst on him so that we can live in his Glory there is no racism in this video you are the only one who sees it, RACISM is unfortunately very real in this age thanks to people like you.

[LAChris101]

@80Brent08

I am just commenting on this Race issue you guy's are trying to straighten out! I believe this video's concept is that Jesus,our Lord and Savior never leaves us nor forsakes us we tend to get sidetrack in our everyday lives' and we tend to forget our leave him for temp time! He is always there watching over,and waiting for us to come back to him. But through this video it clearly shows she gets tempted with all thing's that is in this life! Lord Have Mercy On My Soul!

[angelxshipuden]

thankx god i lov u so much u are the best

[reyavq777]

we are ALL GOD PEOPLE no matter the color . plzzzzzz people let it go .

[reyavq777]

this race this is getting sooooo out of hand it makes me sick to my stomch. Ti is just somthing that the devil uses to keep us from opeaning up our hearts to all of the human race

[naquam]

Brotha George...Open your eyes to the message with your heart,and let the message truly feed your soul. That's what Satan is keeping you from seeing. We have had this thing about race deeply implanted in our generations for so long,that we actually think that one specific race of people are supreme over all.

We are one kind in God's eyes..."Human kind"

Now do me a favor my brotha.... watch the video again and open your heart to the message...Peace and blessings.

[rotsjipko]

we did this skit at my church, and all black church. God was protrayed by a black woman. this skit is so powerful, it brought tears to my eyes and a resolution to read my Bible more and prayer more often. i don't like this version, however, because it has obvious racial undertones. why were all the minorities cast as the "sins." as a minority myself, that makes me angry and disappointed in the church. i wouldn't recommend this version. watch the other ones that aren't racist.

[rotsjipko]

I agree GeorgeTinkTinker...

[GeorgeTinkTinker]

Its just like that KKK movie, "Birth of a Nation." I think its shameful that the same racial trope was, either consciously or unconsciously, used in this skit. I sure hope the oversight was inadvertent.

[GeorgeTinkTinker]

Don't you see that associating Satan with darkness or blackness and God with light only reinforces racial prejudice in the church? Like in this skit for example. There are so many racial tropes that appear in this skit; the white man protecting the white defenseless woman against the ravages of the savage colored people, the savage colored people trying to rape her and tearing off her shirt, and then the powerful white man intervening and saving her from the clutches of the perverted black man

[reyavq777]

man the guy in all black look at his hands for crying out loud . well you know every race hasdone things past and now that r wrong . dont pass this hate on to the kids they dont need it .

[GeorgeTinkTinker]

s this skit clearly reenacts racial tropes scene in anti-black racial material like the KKK's "Birth of a Nation" where a white God and his white army protect the purity of white Chrisitan women from the sinful ravages of the savage black folk... this skit is obviously drawing from that genre and therefore has significant racial undertones within its message.

[GeorgeTinkTinker]

why were all the "sins" cast as colored people or women? why is the colour black associated with evil and the devil in this skit? this skit is racist.

[passionettez]

Hey George, We all have our opinions. Simple. The "light" is Jesus. He gives us a brighter future. As on the other hand, Satan is darkness and death. As far as the skin pigment of the cast members...maybe, just maybe, those are the people who felt in their heart to be cast in this skit. They were lead to do this skit of witnessing. The enemy can distract us to where he doesn't want us to see the complete meaning of this skit. God Bless...

[luixander19]

@GeorgeTinkTinker

tinktinker huh? lol i was curious about something.. obviously u like to the idea of being a "critical" thinker urself , one who analyses things and see things that common ppl wouldnt be able to see, very smart in fact . and its probably this wisdom that had led u to such conclutions right? just one thing i'd like to ask:

what if these "black" bothers and sisters have volunteered for it? what if ur wrong?

[luixander19]

@GeorgeTinkTinker "the beggining of wisdow is the fear of GOD and to know that we know nothing except the fact of our ignorance"

[jetadorelamour]

because sin doesn't care about skin color or race, its everywhere and it can be anyone... if the sock fits....

[MsPaparatz]

@GeorgeTinkTinker Those people in the skit tried out for the role.... why should they NOT get a part because they are a woman or black or white or brown? Seems you're the racsist one here. Not cool.

[s1t2e3v4]

Beautiful. and Strong. This Skit was so powerful especially when one of the Ministries in Philly Called Fusion renacted this. Brought many to tears and relization of our awesome God. God is Amazing, wonderful, and my Every need.

[xokattykinsxo]

omg i love this video sooo much. the part that touches me the most is when Jesus jumps in and saves the girl :] may God bless us all

[VanessaLake]

May GOD continue to bless you and the one's you love. Thank you soooooooooooo much for letting me know about GOD tube, it a site I will now visit often.

[AbigailRay1994]

gives me chills every time i watch it (i watch it every month or so when im losing faith)

[Bisup]

The Best Skit I Have Seen In My Life...

[Timiya123]

very touching...;)

[raydog29]

I LOVE IT!!!!

[spazzymcgeeex]

i am very conflicted about my faith in God or in anything for that matter. but no matter what is going on i watch this video all the time and it brings me back. it makes me cry, makes me smile, makes me feel happy and close to Him. Makes me wish i was a better person. ive gone through everything in this video. I watched this a few monthes ago and went back to church. im so much happier now that i know i will always have God on my side.

[passionettez]

No matter what he has your back. Just stay focused my friend. That is the key to it all with Jesus. Stay focused, don't allow the distractions to be your focus and you will be fine, just fine.

[spazzymcgeeex]

I'm trying very hard. I want to go back to church regularly [right now its just every few weeks or something] but I feel I am not worthy. I don't know enough about God or church or anything to go back. I'm embarrassed to ask because I should know. But I am going to talk to my friend who goes every week if I could go with her. I'm excited, I need something to believe in again.

[kariberry97]

spazzymcgeeex ~ None of us feel worthy. But Jesus made a way so we can be. It is by His Grace that we can enter in. God loves YoU!!

[hawaiianchick53]

Beautiful :)

[RobynNatalie21]

This is a really Good skit... I love it.

Jesus is so much better than ever thing else. I <3 Jesus.

[kozlowsky666]

[davram74]

Wow!! this video did to me what I am sure it was intended for. Thank you to all that were involved putting this together. I really needed a wake up call like this. This is a really intense message but but intense is what we require to be able to see what is going on around us.

[AbigailRay1994]

i love this skit! i watch it when i need a little insperatoin i guess you could say... it gives me chills!!!

[jesuslovesu156]

[milanorob]

godbless you guys i got touched. thank you for that message. jesus loves you.

[elynaldo]

thanks... awesome...God with us alwayz

[MDmendez86]

Hey darkdude...

when God created us, mankind, he NEVER intended for man to suffer, to feel pain, or to experience death. It's not that God "lets" his children die because of hunger or of a storm; it's the result of sin...i mean, is it really God fault the we, mankind, refuse to seek him and live by his law? imagine if EVERYONE would love their neighbors as themselves (which is basically the last 6 commandments) would there really be people going hungry, in a world filled with love and not greed?

[darkdude600666]

man god and jesus can suck my balls,theirs no fuckin god or devil,churches brainwahs too many mutherfuckers like all of yous..if their truly is a god why the fuck would he let ppl die of hunger.or ppl die during stroms.fuck him,fuck your churches and fuck your lies.

[CostaMexican]

I forgive you my friend. May God bless you

[lcr89]

u should regreat for saying that darkdude

i hope u think otherwise later

[DRGRVD23]

I really needed this. Thank you to who put this up.

[Dixie90Delight]

this is so powerful. i cried.

[Alibaba12793]

i think this is the best vidoe ever made in the wrodl it brings me to tear everytime it is amazing! love the lord for he good!

[wheresurbigmacs]

brought me 2 tears

[roohowitt]

love it! i can really relate to it GOD is awesome!

[DarkB1adeZ]

Though I am not religious, this IS a powerful skit.

[IplayGARRYSmod]

nice song

[liquidmind2013]

Crazy religious Fanatics

[passionettez]

nothing crazy about this...  :)

[gadawgsfan4]

this is a truly powerful video

[thaniel7]

we remade this skit for our church's easter program today....i was lust =]

seriously though, this video is amazing...one of the greatest human video's i've ever seen, actually.....

[awietfeldt96]

aren't u so happy that some of us in this world acctually believe in God the one and only! our youth group might do this play for our church

[uKNOiLUVu18]

love thiz thing to desth probaly the 30th time i hav seen it on youtube and i hav seen it once in person amazing how jesus will stay with u for soooooooooooooooooooooooooo much the winter jams rocked

[breesam123]

OMGSH!

i absolutly love this drama.

i saw it at premier winterfest.

:)

[girly313]

that was sooo amazing!it was shown in my cu..at first i was like..ok whats this?? but by the end i had tears in my eyes! its so amazing it shows how much God loves us and that we allow ourselves to get seduced by sin bcoz it seems good but really it will wreck our lives..and God loves us so much that He will still pull us back. It just shows how great and loving God is and how destructive sin is its amazing and a small sense of how real Gods love is. THANK YOU!

[wolf1638]

sad!!!!!!!!!! that stuff can make u not think about god but he is our shield!!! he will protect us from harm if a person u know dies its because God needed them in heaven.Once my great grandma died but i still believed in the almighty lord.

[olenkaworley]

People have tears in they eyes because once in their life, they was this person and now they are saved by the precious Blood of Christ.

[PunjabiMafia1]

I was not moved by this videa at all...and yet people are saying they have tears in their eyes?? someone plz tell me what the heck is going on and plz plz plz reply...

[999wayevil]

well the first thing i would have to ask you is do you know who christ is. beacuse that is what this video is about. this video show us all the things that pull us away from god, and how that no matter what we do in are lifes that god is always going to be there for us.

[fantasyworld254]

well many people have been through what this video talks about and want to go back to christ and since you can relate it really moves you

[incorp]

One thing I don't like about this video is when the victim cut her wrist... =S very disgusting. But overall, the video was meaningful and well acted!!! =)

Referring back to the video, God is like that, When all is lost, HE is there for you and "pulls" you back to his side and protect you from temptations from Satan.

[999wayevil]

there are no words that can described the feeling i had when i watched the video. it is so powerful it brought tears to my eyes. i think that everyone one who is lost or sad or doesnt belive that god is always by there side should watch this video. this video shows us that god is always with us and that no matter whats going on in are lifes that he will always be by are side no matter what. god bless everyone who did the skit.

[richpata]

Can you tell who is playing the song and its name? tahks for sharing this piece

[richpata]

very good

[dotcom360]

Brothers & Sisters.. That was a really touching skit... Thanks a lot..

[bedeaux10]

we just played this at teen-scene. there was not a dry eyed member of the staff, not to mention some of the kids...this video is AMAZING!! if you're not moved by this I feel there is little hope for you!! GOD RULES AND GOD ROCKS!!

[princeton91r]

Now Im glad that you are a folower of Jesus and this video touches you. And I know this video is very powerfull, but do you think that was an aproppiate statement when you said if you arent moved by this u have little hope?

[bedeaux10]

don't take that wrong. there is the same amount of hope for all of us. I guess that statement was just in the heat of the moment. I'm just trying to get across how moving it is, don't take it literally.

[princeton91r]

I dont want to make it a big deal but think of it this way. What if there was somebody who was seeking truth or seeking christ and they read your comment? Then they are now thinking that they have little hope and not a chance. People like that will take it literally and be turned away

[homarman400]

i cryed in this vid the same skit was at my church its a very awesome skit it changed my life

[BroEddie7]

Greetings in the wonderful name of our Lord and Savior Jesus the Christ,

Can someone please tell me what song this is and who is the artist?

[passionettez]

[xRandomnessRocksx]

Hey everyone =]

I am a Christian and have a close walk with God. This sketch is so powerful and I understand most of it but there is one thing I don't understand - do the people dressed in black represent the devil, and who do the other people represent?

~Kathryn xxxxxx

[lilmunk3]

hello , i just thought id reply to your message you left because i believe the people represent issues stopping her walking with God , such as depression

Katie xxx

[homarman400]

[elia4567]

I cry everytime I see this drama. It reminds me to keep Jesus first and foremost in my life and I am grateful that he still loves me no matter what!

[srnd2u31]
