Songwriter a Fraud

Michael Guglielmucci wrote and sang the new Hillsong hit song "Healer" on the new Hillsong project. He supposedly had terminal cancer. It turns out it was a fraud.

Re: Songwriter a Fraud

We have discussed this video here on AFF sometime ago.

I was a believer...



What a sham!

Re: Songwriter a Fraud

Why in the world do people do these things? I guess there are more psycho people in the world than I ever imagined.

"We did not wear uniforms. The lady workers dressed in the current fashions of the day, ...silks...satins...jewels or whatever they happened to possess. They were very smartly turned out, so that they made an impressive appearance on the streets where a large part of our work was conducted in the early years.

"It was not until long after, when former Holiness preachers had become part of us, that strict plainness of dress began to be taught.

"Although Entire Sanctification was preached at the beginning of the Movement, it was from a Wesleyan viewpoint, and had in it very little of the later Holiness Movement characteristics. Nothing was ever said about apparel, for everyone was so taken up with the Lord that mode of dress seemingly never occurred to any of us."

Re: Songwriter a Fraud

This song had over 300,000 hits on Youtube. Also with him being the writer, and the number of CD's Hillsong has sold, he has already made many $ from royalties.

It will be interesting to see how Hillsong and Integrity Music handles this issue. Will they re-issue the cd and DVD without the song.

The DVD includes his testimony and behind the scenes footage of him dealing with the "cancer".

The song was rapidly becoming an anthem for deliverence and healing in churches around the world.

A quick search of the forum turned this up.

It's sad really, that he'd do something like this. Doesn't change the powerful message of the song, but it does put things in perspective. I wonder if he's actually mentally ill or just getting professional help because it'd be frowned upon if he didn't?

Re: Songwriter a Fraud

I just received the CD & DVD and was planning on using the song for a special upcoming healing service. I have folks in NLC who have attended Planet Shakers when they were in Australia. I was touched by this "testimony" and am truly saddened by this tragic news.

This signifies a serious deficit in the lives of some of our "heroes." I am truly bummed. May God have mercy on Mike and grant to him the security in Him that he truly craves and needs to be whole!
