Not quite terminal ... Michael Guglielmucci, who preached about his battle against deadly cancer, is getting professional help after being exposed as a fraud.HE preached to thousands about his terminal illness and tugged at hearts with a hit song.The problem is the pastor wasn't dying at all.Michael Guglielmucci, who inspired hundreds of thousands of young Christians with his terminal cancer "battle", has been exposed as a fraud.Guglielmucci, whose parents established Edge Church International, an Assemblies of God church at O'Halloran Hill in Adelaide's southern suburbs, now is seeking professional help.Earlier this year, Mr Guglielmucci released a hit song, Healer, which was featured on Sydney church Hillsong's latest album.The song debuted at No. 2 on the ARIA charts.It since has become an anthem of faith for believers, many of whom are suffering their own illness and were praying for a miracle for Mr Guglielmucci, who has claimed for two years to be terminally ill.In one church performance that has attracted 300,000 hits on YouTube,he performs his hit song with an oxygen tube in his nose.It appears Mr Guglielmucci, who was a pastor with one of Australia's biggest youth churches, Planetshakers, may even have deceived his own family."This news has come as a great shock to everyone including, it seems, his own wife and family," Hillsong general manager George Aghajanian said in an email to his congregation yesterday."Michael has confirmed that he is not suffering with a terminal illness and is seeking professional help in Adelaide with the support of his family. We are asking our church to pray for the Guglielmucci family during this difficult time."The Advertiser was told last night Mr Guglielmucci may release a statement on the situation.The Australian Christian Church said Mr Guglielmucci's credentials immediately were suspended once he told the national executive that his cancer claims were "untrue"."The national executive is taking this matter very seriously and is awaiting the results of medical tests before determining the full extent of the discipline that will be imposed upon him," vice president Alun Davies said."We are very concerned for the many people who have been or will be hurt by Michael's actions."We encourage all of our churches to pray for all those affected."
PS:During the past weeks I've heard thru emails or in the news about deceptioin being exposed openly in the church,here in the US and in other countries like the story above....
The TRAGEDY is not as much the lie itself as the LACK OF DISCERNMENT IN THE BODY of CHRIST,about these situations...Deception preaches,teaches,prays ministers to our children and youth and sits in our pews every week....and NOBODY NOTICES.....!!!!!!!
THousands of thousands deceived into web of lies....and the TOLL are the souls...
May the Lord help us walk soberly,daily with HIM and have mercy on us in these evil last days!!!!!!!!
As in the days of Noah....
As in the days of Noah....
