I listened to this song a lot and when I heard what Michael did, I never looked at him differently or even placed judgement on his action. That battle belonged to God and him, not him and the world. To this day I still listen to the song, and I wish him best with his journey.
Confessing on what he did is a great courage and what happen to him is truly a healing... healing from the bondage of lying only few people can do this and God gave him the strength to say the truth... JOHN 8:7 So when they continued asking Him, He lifted Himself up and said unto them, “He that is without sin among you, let him first cast a stone at her.” God Bless You Brother....
He who is without sin let him cast the first stone! Just because his lies have come out doesn't make him worse than me or anyone else. We all sin and fall short of Gods Glory! We all hide stuff in our lives, it may never go public but we just can never see the logs in our own eyes!
+Nadia Humphries Son of man, I have made thee a watchman unto the House of Israel: therefore hear the word at my mouth, and give them warning from me. When I say unto the wicked, Thou shalt surely die; and thou givest him not warning, nor speakest to warn the wicked from his wicked way, to save his life; the same wicked man shall die in his iniquity; but his blood will I require at thine hand. Ezk. 3:17-18 If you warn not the wicked of their wickedness you are in sin Nadia.Yes we have all sinned, now we make the conscious decision upon the altar, LORD, I WILL NOT DO SO AGAIN. By His grace Nadia, see the bible speaks of Confessing and forsaking of sin - Until we're willing to forsake our sin, we are not forgiven, you may fall even after such a time, but that gives you no right to shut up your mouth before the wicked, warn the wicked of his wicked way, by the commandment of God.
+Nadia Humphries Sin leveling and turning bible verses into cliches does not negate the specific facts and violations of this situation in which deceit was inflicted.
You know what is MOST beautiful about this, I believe that even though he didn't have cancer that needed healed he obviously had OTHER things emotionally that needed healing! This song is still true, God can ABSOLUTELY heal your mind, your heart, your spirit and your soul!
I believe in what you said. It will never be about the person, it will always be about the goodness of God in our lives and those words he wrote in the song is God's character & nature. He is a healer.
Wow, it's devastating to know that he lied for so long, but you can see this man's repentance. "...God, you will not reject a heart that is broken and sorry for sin."- Psalm 51:17 Sadly, he was caught in a web of lies, but he felt God rebuking his heart, recognized the error of his ways, & came forth with it so that he would no longer play with his salvation. I'm sure he did huge damage & many hearts are broken, but it's better that the truth came out. The truth shall set you FREE. God forgives.
The good thing is that he repented... and also we can look at it on the bright side.. many were encouraged through this song. God can turn the worst thing for the good all for His glory. Even if this man is not sick physically still, Jesus will heal him emotionally for He is a true healer!
Not many can confess their wrongs. i am glad he came foward. it is shocking but we are in no position to judge. I hope Michael goes back to God and solve his problem in Christ.
I can not understand why we are all so shocked about what he did, he it is just human, like you and i. The wonderful thing is that he admitted to what he has done, in the way a real Christian should do it. This confession is real, he did not try to blame others, he did the Christian thing, (not what he did), but confessing his sin the way it is. It is just like the woman caught in adultery, everybody ready to cast a stone, but not ready to judge themselves. May the Lord bless him and keep him in this truth.. If only more Christians will step up and do the same the world become like Heaven. Because then we will live in truth. This is a taste of judgement day, and this is only one lie, what about a whole life of sin. And this is the problem with us in the world we hurl insults and accusations towards others while we ourselves are standing behind the door, doing the very same things we blame others of doing or being. Shame on us as christians, may the Lord have mercy that we will return to Him is brokenness and humility.
@Arikm7 And don't tell me he did this to get attention that he clearly needed. He's a narcissist. It wasn't done only because of his porn addiction. He said he wasn't that good of an actor in this interview but look at how nearly everyone fell for this act. The throwing up was because he knew he was wrong. If he was that convicted of dishonesty he should've stopped on day one.
I agree! Jesus came to abolish religion. At Hillsong and other similar churches it is about having a personal relationship with Jesus, worshipping Him and learning to follow Him and help others the best we can
This is why we need the Holy Spirit in our churches so that we'd be able to discern what and who is of God. We need the spirit of discernment and the wisdom of God in our churches so stuff like this doesn't happen. tsk tsk...
EXACTLY, SADLY THE GIFT OF DISCERNMENT WICH IS GIVEN BY THE HOLY SPIRIT SEEMS TO BE NOT PRESENT ON ANY OF THE LEADERS OF HILLSONG, PASTOR OR MUSICANS. I WONDER WHY....
I AM WHO I AM Well my church is holy spirit filled and though we've never had a crazy terrible story like this one, we've had some conflict over time and we always had to ask God for discernment and let those people leave like they secretly wanted to. yes holy spirit gives discernment, my father is filled with the spirit and he's seen visions and prophetic dreams come to pass, but he's still human.....I pray for Hillsong that they would have strength and follow after Christ like he wants them to
I remember when I heard Michaels situation People close to me would ask me why I play that song. I told him that’s a song that I love it’s powerful and so is the man singing it. Mike is a very powerful worship Leader. He was healing from something I can tell you that and a lot of people are being helped through his worship music. We all have our stuff so I don’t like to listen to too many critical Christians that think they have it all together. I remember in the beginning when he was under siege. For sure repentance is always requiredBut after that as far as the east is from the west that’s how far God has removed our sins from us. Thank you so much Mike your worship music is awesome. It’s funny here I am with a broken leg And Michael’s song is the first one I want to sing.
God is healing Guglielmucci´s heart just as the song says. I forgive him, because God has forgiven me for other stuff. Who is worthy to condemn him?. Only God, and even he offers us all, repentence and forgiveness God bless
This is what hurts the Christian faith the most. Is it any wonder that people have such a difficult time believing in Christ? Yes, he confessed his sins, and no, we are not to judge him! That is God's job.
Father God, thank You that Your words alone, heal. "Do not be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good." Romans 12:21 Please have mercy on our brother, Mike, & heal his heart. I believe You gave Him that song, to comfort him & call him out of darkness. Lord, may there be such an outpouring of forgiveness & love towards him from the church, that it overcomes the deception. May people want to talk about what happened, to glorify Your Name, for the outpouring of Your mercy, Jesus. Amen.
we are not here to judge, if God can forgive Mike, we can forgive Mike. He was a liar, but to me, it was also because of God's love, that he is able to walk out of lie n live in truth again. He was a liar. but I believe the song Healer still has strengthened alot of people who hope in God's healing. because after all the song is to worship God not him. we all had struggles of sins before and even now we face temptations everyday. and there are times when we lied just because we are too ashame of ourselves. but Lord Jesus Christ had taken away our shame n gave us a new life.
He was a liar. But if he is still a wicked clown, then he should continue the lie. Why repent and expose all his secret sins to the world? his song was actually selling very good! keep making money. do not stop. but he didnt! he took the courage to tell because God has touched his heart and brought him back to Him, like the prodigal son. and his father took the greater courage to announce this to the church and apologize. God is loving and merciful. None of us here can replace the place of the ultimate Judge. We had no right to judge any brother and sister because we are equally sinful and cut off from God. It is His mercy that sustained us everyday. I am disappointed by your comment. What you were saying is portraying the elder brother of the prodigal son, unhappy when this son comes back to the father. But I tell you, when one repent and come back to the Father, the whole Heaven celebrates it! Also I would like you to read Zechariah 3 and see that no one can condemn when God took away our sins, even the enemies, they cannot condemn. Words like this from you will discourage brothers and sisters who struggled with sins to fall back instead of coming back. Mind your words(Luke 17:1)
I am not a christian but i respect this man for coming clean. He could have easily said jesus had healed him and continued to fool many. I respect him for coming clean and getting the help he needed. much respect, and i hope he finally found his way and got the help he needed. I wish we could all be this honest.
カスパナンテアクリスタ yes your right... very few of us really grasp the concept of grace... its so much bigger... deeper.... wider than we can or will ever understand!
タクリス ...fucking idiot, he did it for fame, money and pornography and you praise him. You’re a moron of the highest order....but then again that’s par for the course for you religious types. I hope in the intervening years since you posted this you have got some humility. He had no way out but to confess otherwise he was being outed. He can’t even tell the truth about that
I cannot imagine doing something like this that would effect my family in the way that it has. To put your family through something like this is crazy in itself. As a mother I know how she must have suffered. Sleepless nights heart ache grieving for a child who is dying. Don't know how he could have done this to his family. He probably aged them 10 years at least. Now we have to watch them deal with the shame. God Bless! We forgive and are praying for you all. Mike God is your healer.
The staying goes like this. "Out Of Evil cometh Good". This Song is BEAUTIFUL.... I Searched for this very song only this morning 🌅., I am in so much pain,#fibromyalgia. #Osteoarthritis. #BreastCancer. #Sinusitis..,..Start singing this Song and it made me feeling better. ( STRONG AND COURAGEOUS) my God is truly a healer #health is my portion....In Jesus mighty Name......I THANK him for this Song even though it was a Lie.... Let Almighty God be his judge! 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
i think he needs our prayers more now than he did when we thought he was dying. i hope people wont judge him. i loved this song, i heard it at soul survivor week b, and it inspired me. its a god-inspired song and he cant change that. x
as long as he repent. Jesus will forgive him nobody in this world is perfect either u and me Jesus, pls forgive me. I am sinner. depend ur blood, wash away my sins Hallelujah!
Yes. and he sees that they are desperately wicked to the core! This is why Christ came, to save dying sinners and to reconcile them with God. That's the Gospel - but of course you will never have come across that at Hillsongs..
Michael thank you for that song..I do not care about whatever is behind the story, I care that that's my best song and it changed my life a whole lot. You're loved Michael and may God see you through whatever the real problem is! Thank you for imparting lives🙏🏻
I agree! Watching this makes me feel like I want to LOVE on him and tell him that I will help him on the road to recovery. I award his honesty no matter how late it came. I think he is upset and feels guilt with himself "living a lie" while he probably told many others terrible things in hopes that they too will live a lie. (Homosexuals that can not be changed). This is a GREAT lesson for all. God bless Michael.
For anyone who is seeking answers to whether or not God heals people, I say a big YES! God does miracles every day, people get healed from cancer and every other scourge that murders the body and the spirit. I know this. Go where God is. People will always let each other down, God will never betray us. Cancer is not God's will. I journeyed through cancer in 2003, and am alive today to be a mother to four children and live out God's plan for my life. There is hope. Jo Hilder
Whatever he did, God has already forgiven. I pray that he finds the strength to move on and to fix what he has broken. For me anyways, he was acting like a human being.
I dont judge him, I'm going to pray for him and others within the body of Christ who struggle with similar issues.He made mistakes but God is still God and He loves him, so do I.
I would imagine those who invested time, money, emotions, and/or faith in his story feel terribly betrayed. Now that you know what BS smells like, avoid it. His parents have forgiven him and-if he has genuinely come to Christ with a broken heart and a contrite spirit-Jesus has forgiven him. If you hold onto anger, that’s an excessive burden you carry on top of the challenges you’ve been given to experience for your benefit. Forgive swiftly and get rid of the weeds so you can get back to growing to your full potential. ❤️❤️❤️🙏🏻
You can't live a lie, it's gonna tear you apart, being that it proves that we were made to be pure beings, TRUTHFUL in all our ways. Living a lie is like going against that. If you are about to tell a lie, go against it and tell the truth and see how good you feel about yourself, its the best feeling in that moment. Just look at at him how good he feels in this video, he releases it all out until he cries, see what i mean!
I really am so sad of what happened and while watching him sing and saw him I was crying. He had touched a lot of lives at hillsong and Joel was touched by him as well. Darlene was loving him there as well. I don't believe that they cancelled the song healer on the album. I support Michael in every way. Yes he kept us in the dark but I know he is loved by God. He uses him to write beautiful powerful songs. God bless you and your family. Healer is a favorite of mine and my family. I want this time to be for Michael and to honour him for what he has done. Love your heart of worship and love being at edge to hear you and how you ring engage with others. What a man of g o d.
Gods Blessings to you Michael,Amanda,Ps Danny,Sharon,Kris & Danielle,we are so blessed that Jesus Christ is LORD! My prayers go out to you all & the Edge Family.Stay strong in our Lord Jesus Christ!
I actually feel sorry for him, he acknowledged what he did and clearly feels bad about it. My sister lied about having breast cancer, she carried the lie on for several years and never actually admitted that it was a lie, but we found out that she was never a patient in the hospital she claimed to be going to and there was no doctor that she named or even a radiology unit at the particular hospital . I don't really know why people do this, but my sister invented this story after breaking up with her partner. I will pray for him. Why was the oxygen mask necessary ?.
While I am sad that he lied, I didn't know about the lie, I just heard the song. I am glad that he has come out with the truth, and I remind everyone to remember the words of Paul: "But what does it matter? The important thing is that in every way, whether from false motives or true, Christ is preached. And because of this I rejoice." (Philippians 1:18) So I will continue to sing! Christ is still our healer and the author of life.
I like this guy. How many of us have confess the dirty secreet we are hiding from our love ones and other people. Look at someone on the comment saying this is unbelivable. I will tell you something.... unbelivable is when we are unable to come out openly with our dirty secreet, unbelivable is when we are unable to confess our sins to God and turn away from our evil ways. That is unbelivable my friend. More grease to your elbow Michael Guglielmucci for taking this bold step. God bless you more.
To me, his lies were used in a powerful way. Was is right to do that? ABSOLUTELY NOT. But the Lord has His hands over the situation. Despite everything, he has written a song that speaks to thousands. Forget about his story. Remain in the story of the lyrics and how it can permeate in all of our lives. Yes, including Michael who is TRULY sick.. and that sickness is the lies. Above all, God is still glorified.
"Nothing happens unless GOD allows it"... the Power of Grace covers the sin of even liers... I am grateful to GOD for not taking his life but giving him life and that more abundantly... we can choose pain and anger or JOY and FORGIVENESS... I choose Joy and Forgiveness because this song I know has brought healing and millions of Souls to GOD and even closer to GOD. Though Heaven or I condones lies, we know the truth that a repentive heart gets forgiveness... #PutAndKeepGODFirst
For me I also play bass in Church. Michael Guglielmucci is also the former bass player of Planetshakers. I can also relate my experience with Michael Guglielmucci, I even struggled from the sin of pornography addiction too and I even got suspended from the music ministry 3 times already. Remember that we are all sinners. If we truly give our life to Jesus and repent, he can forgive us. REMEMBER THAT PORNOGRAPHY IS A SIN and it will lead to destruction.
Truly shows you God's unconditional love....this man was forgiven the moment he confessed....and the best of it all...God is still using that song "Healer" to change millions of people's lives across the globe! Truly amazing......he lied about his sickness to millions....we daily commit sins that no one would ever know about.....same thing in God's eyes! But the truth is that there is forgiveness for him and for us...no matter what you did!! We serve an awesome God!!!!!
All of us fall short in our life. There is no way any of us could stand a chance on our own. Praise the Lord, that Christ has died on the Cross in connecting us to God and wiping our sins away through His blood. And if it weren't for His grace and love, we would all never be here. Praise God for not being like us, if He were, we all would stand no chance.
This is the very reason that it is hard for some to believe that Jesus is the Son of the living God Savior to all. I can testify that He was, is now and will always be the King of Kings Lord of Lords forever!! Hallelujah
13 years. WOW. 13 years sincr i fell away from god. I looked upto this man and when it came out in the news, I couldnt quite comprehend it and didnt understand.. 13 years too long to be away from god. Its good that GOD has cleaned me up. I no longer drink or take drugs. Im on the mend and now my faith is strong and based wholey on God! Amen
exactly what i was thinking!! i also pray that we as christians will show upon mike the love and grace Jesus has shown us and continues to show us everyday :).
If I had a voice in this scenario, here I speak. This report was posted more than three years ago, and we still argue about it today. God loves this man. He had the gut to go up there and tell the truth. He was able to be true to himself and true to others. Now what does his song mean then? Jesus asked the crippled man IF he wanted to be healed, IF he believed. God has grace, grace for every sinner, every liar, every thief. He is not excluded from this.
Everyone specially this time struggling in such sin, however if we react unchristianly or without Christ's love, then...this one goes out to all who hated this event... Cast the first stone if you're without sin, and tore out psalms and proverbs in the bible just a sample, because David coveted a soldier's wife and killed that soldier....and Solomon is addicted to woman. God bless everyone...God's love never fails.
This incident help me see this verse come alive through brother Mike, 2nd Corinthians 12:9. Mike still proclaim the truth through His Words, and sang a powerful song, one that has broken me down in tears and given me a place in experiencing healing..
i still appreciate michael guglielmucci's humility. not every one can open his secret sin. but i'm sad about the consequences that will be brought to him. gaining trust takes time. the hearts that were betrayed takes time to heal. the responsibility of every christian(especially in Hillsong Church) is to continue to love and forgive and help those who fail.Jesus told us--"The world will know that we are His disciples if we love one another". Let's fix our eyes on Jesus alone..
I don’t understand how you could look at your parents, your wife, your best friends and let them believe that you’re dying. The amount of fear they must have been living. His family have my prayers. At any point if he’d started to feel guilty he could have said he was now healed, but instead he let the cancer get worse. It seems like munchausens disorder. Then trying to blame it on porn? that way there’s this outside evil source to blame, not his own selfish need for attention. Instead of being judged as an attention seeker, people will congratulate him on his humility for admitting porn? Nope he is just continuing to deceive & manipulate. Plus his admission only came after a newspaper already broke the story.
And as they continued to ask him, he stood up and said to them, “Let him who is without sin among you be the first to throw a stone at her.”.... John 8:7
I pray that we show the same grace and mercy that God bestows upon us, and also learn to separate the precious from the vile. Prove all things, and hold on to that which is good(1 Thessalonians 5:21). Blessed be the name of the Lord.
Who among us has not sinned. He is forgiven by the Father. We are charged to not only forgive him but to lift him up and help him. I for one, stand behind Mike because I know that I have sinned and been forgiven.
Healer song is God breathed...i believe that..and Mike Guglielmucci is one of the millions christians who are struggling with the same temptation... i still believe in Ps mike and Love him..i am praying for him..God will use this song to heal everybody to those who are hurting...
it takes great humility to confess such sin guys. We as Christians aren't "perfect" and as human beings, we fail; only JESUS can't fail us, we gotta remember that. God's faithful to forgive those who sin and confess it and we are nobody to judge a person, for non of us have not sinned! Remember Matthew 7:3 "Why do you look at the speck of saw-dust in your brother's eye and pay no attention to the plank in your own eye?" So, as sinners, let's pray for him that GOD may heal him.
I’ll stand beside any others who confess. We all are told to “...confess our sins one to another...” There’s things i have to confess, and hope that I have the balls like God gave Mike.
For those of us who know the Lord, let's pray that God gives us the wisdom to know how to deal with such situations for its not the first nor the last. Less judgment and indulgence and more compassion and prayer. i believe he sang this song knowing it was true for him for he was ill and now that the illness has been exposed, he will get help and God will heal him.
And he said, Take heed that ye be not deceived: for many shall come in my name, saying, I am Christ; and the time draweth near: go ye not therefore after them. - Luke 21:8 #redemption #thecross4gives
what would jesus do? it was what came to my mind... I just say God bless him and that was very courageous on his part to do that, I am sure that God already pardoned him (if he truly repented) ... God loves us all, and above all... :)
Although this comes as a shocker, it's GREAT because he's honest and open with who he really is. Now God can redeem him. "If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness." -1 John 1:9. Hallelujah, he's confessed his sins! I think this took A LOT of character to do. It's not a time of judgment, but of mercy. It's in things like this that the world will see...how DO followers of Jesus act? Still with His love? I certainly hope so.
Ephesians says that we used to walk according to the course of this world, to the prince of the power of the air, the spirit who know works in the sons of disobedience but God who is rich in mercy & great love has made us alive together with Christ. (Eph 2:1-6) Mike being a human is altogether capable of sinning and he's bold enough to stand up and confess, prayers and supports should be with him to take him away from the sway of the evil one. God bless you
It's the power of God, needs a lots of courage to came on front of thousands of people and confess a such thing. So since his truly broken, a belive God forgave him, we should too. And be proud that he confess and we should support him in our prays. God bless him, and i belive since he had a courage to came and say the truth, a lot people can do the same waching his steps, and be healed as well.
@ExtremeFaithInJesus What blows my mind having only even heard of this just now is that I have had stage 4 cancer twice and so far nobody even wants to hear what I have to shrare!
I dont care what anyone thinks of this song. Songs are written as a cry of the heart and it seems this was his heart's cry to be changed by a "Healer". A very anointed song given by God, which did indeed free him from the bonds of lies. Who are we to decide not to sing this song in church if God's the one who put it into form?
And whats make your sins worse than his? Doesn't matter what he did, his sins aren't different than ours, his sins aren't worse than ours, we all have been out of line at some point, and what about thank his Honesty, thank his Courage to confront his problem? He is humans, and his actions are not be judged by anyone! Only our God will judge him!
Well he devieved many, including me, and just an apology is a hard ask for forgiveness, but Jesus forgives anyone so... i should try to! I hope he really is on the right track and walk with God now
In this video, I can now prove that God is really a healer. He is a liar. And that is his illness that needs a cure from our healer. Let's make an illustration, if you are sick, the first thing you wanna do is to go your doctor. And tell him what you feel, your illness. So that, your doctor will know that you are sick and you need to be healing. And that's what Ptr. Mike did. He bravely confessed his illness cause he want a healing. How will God heal him if don't confess it? This is another victory of God. God is a healer.
I know what you felt about the song. First when I watched this video, I felt the same but I asked God to open my eyes. And he revealed me that Michael was suffering from Porno addiction instead of cancer. Michael was afraid and ashamed to reveal that. The song is for God and not to be appeal to men. Through this God revealed us real christian and how there is no forgiveness among us he forgive our sins. What is the point to ask for forgiveness to God when you do not forgive at all
What Michael Guglielmucci did was wrong, hurtful and deceitful, and he caused much pain to many people. But God uses every situation and circumstance to draw people closer to him. A man has fallen, but through repentance and forgiveness he will rise again. What better person to use as an example of Gods grace and mercy, than a person that is a public figure. It is just another example on how God is working on us, so that we will eventually come forward and confess our sins. Praise God!
Even someone that God called as "the man after My own heart" King David committed indescribable sins to today's standard: 'killing' and 'adultery'. And Yet till today, Psalms has blessed countless number of people in so many different ways. Let's put Michael's sins in this perspective and put it behind us. 'Healer' is still a blessing for me and my friends.
: we are all responsible for our own actions, yes there's grace, but also discipline but that is not our job, leave it to God & Mikes Pastor/counsel board members. God bless everyone.
The thing that bothers me about this story, is it's like they think people shouldn't have bought his song, when in fact the song itself is still powerful and true, and would have blessed a lot of people.
I think the song Healer is for those spiritually (as this man)as well as the physically sick. Perhaps that is why the church sang it with such deep devotion. There is a healing needed across the land for many who are caught in the trap of the enemy. Judgment begins at the house of God, this is good he is being truthful. In this age of grace, there is mercy with the judgment, because of the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ. Repentance and restitution are needed here. And healing for all.
How evil SIN is. It can ruin the best of us. I forgive you Pastor Michael Guglielmucci and I'm sure God has too. May God help you and us through these troubles at hand. Give all your sins to Jesus and seek HIM. He died for us, so that our sins WILL be forgiven. Let HIM work in you.
Just because of what has happened, doesn't take away from anything he's preached. I've been to his services and felt and agreed with every word he's spoken about the youth of Australia, and while all this personal stuff was going on I believe his love for the youth of Australia was and still is real and genuine, I still hold him in high regard. He's no different to me, except i'm not famous and didn't have the pressure. I don't care how righteous you think you are every guy has looked at porn
As a Christian, this devastates me. He did so much damage for the kingdom through this. I truly am sorry for anyone who gets yet another apparent reason to resent Christianity. Just shows that we are all broken and sinners and in need of a Loving savior for already paid the cost for our sins, even a deceptive, damaging lie like this. God bless.
Jesus Christ our saviour our king of glory love you more than you can imagined all your sins is forgetten trust in God always with all your heart mind and soul beloving brother Love you so so much in Jesus name
I listened to this song a lot and when I heard what Michael did, I never looked at him differently or even placed judgement on his action. That battle belonged to God and him, not him and the world. To this day I still listen to the song, and I wish him best with his journey.
Confessing on what he did is a great courage and what happen to him is truly a healing... healing from the bondage of lying only few people can do this and God gave him the strength to say the truth...
JOHN 8:7 So when they continued asking Him, He lifted Himself up and said unto them, “He that is without sin among you, let him first cast a stone at her.”
God Bless You Brother....
He who is without sin let him cast the first stone! Just because his lies have come out doesn't make him worse than me or anyone else. We all sin and fall short of Gods Glory! We all hide stuff in our lives, it may never go public but we just can never see the logs in our own eyes!
+Nadia Humphries
Son of man, I have made thee a watchman unto the House of Israel: therefore hear the word at my mouth, and give them warning from me.
When I say unto the wicked, Thou shalt surely die; and thou givest him not warning, nor speakest to warn the wicked from his wicked way, to save his life; the same wicked man shall die in his iniquity; but his blood will I require at thine hand.
Ezk. 3:17-18
If you warn not the wicked of their wickedness you are in sin Nadia.Yes we have all sinned, now we make the conscious decision upon the altar, LORD, I WILL NOT DO SO AGAIN.
By His grace Nadia, see the bible speaks of Confessing and forsaking of sin - Until we're willing to forsake our sin, we are not forgiven, you may fall even after such a time, but that gives you no right to shut up your mouth before the wicked, warn the wicked of his wicked way, by the commandment of God.
+Nadia Humphries Sin leveling and turning bible verses into cliches does not negate the specific facts and violations of this situation in which deceit was inflicted.
Great point!!.
LMFAO. You guys are so naive.
Why can't you tell it like it is. Jesus said watch out for wolves in Sheeps clothing, he deserves to be judged!!!!
I still love that song, Michael. We've all sinned and are struggling with many sins, dust yourself up and give us another powerful song.
Me too 🙋♀️
You know what is MOST beautiful about this, I believe that even though he didn't have cancer that needed healed he obviously had OTHER things emotionally that needed healing! This song is still true, God can ABSOLUTELY heal your mind, your heart, your spirit and your soul!
I believe in what you said. It will never be about the person, it will always be about the goodness of God in our lives and those words he wrote in the song is God's character & nature. He is a healer.
Still feeling this way?
Wow, it's devastating to know that he lied for so long, but you can see this man's repentance.
"...God, you will not reject a heart that is broken and sorry for sin."- Psalm 51:17
Sadly, he was caught in a web of lies, but he felt God rebuking his heart, recognized the error of his ways, & came forth with it so that he would no longer play with his salvation. I'm sure he did huge damage & many hearts are broken, but it's better that the truth came out. The truth shall set you FREE. God forgives.
The good thing is that he repented... and also we can look at it on the bright side.. many were encouraged through this song. God can turn the worst thing for the good all for His glory. Even if this man is not sick physically still, Jesus will heal him emotionally for He is a true healer!
the truth will set you free.
Not many can confess their wrongs. i am glad he came foward. it is shocking but we are in no position to judge. I hope Michael goes back to God and solve his problem in Christ.
amen
+Dahjin Kim Actually the church is called to judge things within the church. Not condemn, but judge.
I think once you start stealing from people using religious manipulation, a little judgement is exactly what is called for.
Why did he do it
I can not understand why we are all so shocked about what he did, he it is just human, like you and i. The wonderful thing is that he admitted to what he has done, in the way a real Christian should do it. This confession is real, he did not try to blame others, he did the Christian thing, (not what he did), but confessing his sin the way it is.
It is just like the woman caught in adultery, everybody ready to cast a stone, but not ready to judge themselves. May the Lord bless him and keep him in this truth..
If only more Christians will step up and do the same the world become like Heaven. Because then we will live in truth.
This is a taste of judgement day, and this is only one lie, what about a whole life of sin.
And this is the problem with us in the world we hurl insults and accusations towards others while we ourselves are standing behind the door, doing the very same things we blame others of doing or being. Shame on us as christians, may the Lord have mercy that we will return to Him is brokenness and humility.
1eyes2see Lied to masses of people the way a real christian should do it.
@Arikm7 And don't tell me he did this to get attention that he clearly needed. He's a narcissist. It wasn't done only because of his porn addiction. He said he wasn't that good of an actor in this interview but look at how nearly everyone fell for this act. The throwing up was because he knew he was wrong. If he was that convicted of dishonesty he should've stopped on day one.
I agree! Jesus came to abolish religion. At Hillsong and other similar churches it is about having a personal relationship with Jesus, worshipping Him and learning to follow Him and help others the best we can
This is why we need the Holy Spirit in our churches so that we'd be able to discern what and who is of God. We need the spirit of discernment and the wisdom of God in our churches so stuff like this doesn't happen. tsk tsk...
EXACTLY, SADLY THE GIFT OF DISCERNMENT WICH IS GIVEN BY THE HOLY SPIRIT SEEMS TO BE NOT PRESENT ON ANY OF THE LEADERS OF HILLSONG, PASTOR OR MUSICANS. I WONDER WHY....
I AM WHO I AM Well my church is holy spirit filled and though we've never had a crazy terrible story like this one, we've had some conflict over time and we always had to ask God for discernment and let those people leave like they secretly wanted to. yes holy spirit gives discernment, my father is filled with the spirit and he's seen visions and prophetic dreams come to pass, but he's still human.....I pray for Hillsong that they would have strength and follow after Christ like he wants them to
While what you said sounds good I must say there is a difference between "Spirit of Discernment" and "Discerning of spirits"...
Ace Holy Ghost ^ not sprint big difference. Much love.
I remember when I heard Michaels situation People close to me would ask me why I play that song. I told him that’s a song that I love it’s powerful and so is the man singing it. Mike is a very powerful worship Leader. He was healing from something I can tell you that and a lot of people are being helped through his worship music. We all have our stuff so I don’t like to listen to too many critical Christians that think they have it all together. I remember in the beginning when he was under siege. For sure repentance is always requiredBut after that as far as the east is from the west that’s how far God has removed our sins from us. Thank you so much Mike your worship music is awesome. It’s funny here I am with a broken leg And Michael’s song is the first one I want to sing.
God is healing Guglielmucci´s heart just as the song says.
I forgive him, because God has forgiven me for other stuff. Who is worthy to condemn him?. Only God, and even he offers us all, repentence and forgiveness
God bless
🙏 🙏 🙏
He without sin cast the first stone 🪨
This is what hurts the Christian faith the most. Is it any wonder that people have such a difficult time believing in Christ? Yes, he confessed his sins, and no, we are not to judge him! That is God's job.
at least he repent.
Father God, thank You that Your words alone, heal. "Do not be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good." Romans 12:21 Please have mercy on our brother, Mike, & heal his heart. I believe You gave Him that song, to comfort him & call him out of darkness. Lord, may there be such an outpouring of forgiveness & love towards him from the church, that it overcomes the deception. May people want to talk about what happened, to glorify Your Name, for the outpouring of Your mercy, Jesus. Amen.
we are not here to judge, if God can forgive Mike, we can forgive Mike. He was a liar, but to me, it was also because of God's love, that he is able to walk out of lie n live in truth again. He was a liar. but I believe the song Healer still has strengthened alot of people who hope in God's healing. because after all the song is to worship God not him. we all had struggles of sins before and even now we face temptations everyday. and there are times when we lied just because we are too ashame of ourselves. but Lord Jesus Christ had taken away our shame n gave us a new life.
It's because of wicked clowns like this that give the enemies of God an occasion to blaspheme the Lords name.
He was a liar. But if he is still a wicked clown, then he should continue the lie. Why repent and expose all his secret sins to the world? his song was actually selling very good! keep making money. do not stop. but he didnt! he took the courage to tell because God has touched his heart and brought him back to Him, like the prodigal son. and his father took the greater courage to announce this to the church and apologize. God is loving and merciful. None of us here can replace the place of the ultimate Judge. We had no right to judge any brother and sister because we are equally sinful and cut off from God. It is His mercy that sustained us everyday. I am disappointed by your comment. What you were saying is portraying the elder brother of the prodigal son, unhappy when this son comes back to the father. But I tell you, when one repent and come back to the Father, the whole Heaven celebrates it! Also I would like you to read Zechariah 3 and see that no one can condemn when God took away our sins, even the enemies, they cannot condemn. Words like this from you will discourage brothers and sisters who struggled with sins to fall back instead of coming back. Mind your words(Luke 17:1)
Fake!!! He's a wolf in Sheeps
Clothing
I am not a christian but i respect this man for coming clean. He could have easily said jesus had healed him and continued to fool many. I respect him for coming clean and getting the help he needed. much respect, and i hope he finally found his way and got the help he needed. I wish we could all be this honest.
I think he was caught out, not the other way around. They would have said come clean or we will tell.
atleast he confessed. who would ever gonna do that?!!! it takes courage to confess.
カスパナンテアクリスタ yes your right... very few of us really grasp the concept of grace... its so much bigger... deeper.... wider than we can or will ever understand!
Its still hella fucked up that he did all that
タクリス ...fucking idiot, he did it for fame, money and pornography and you praise him. You’re a moron of the highest order....but then again that’s par for the course for you religious types. I hope in the intervening years since you posted this you have got some humility. He had no way out but to confess otherwise he was being outed. He can’t even tell the truth about that
@@drinkwater319 watch your words my brother
@@lisabrooksforlove so he shouldn't have abused it!
Amen. I was awaken by this and i believe its God who speak. Thank you.
I cannot imagine doing something like this that would effect my family in the way that it has. To put your family through something like this is crazy in itself. As a mother I know how she must have suffered. Sleepless nights heart ache grieving for a child who is dying. Don't know how he could have done this to his family. He probably aged them 10 years at least. Now we have to watch them deal with the shame. God Bless! We forgive and are praying for you all. Mike God is your healer.
The staying goes like this. "Out Of Evil cometh Good". This Song is BEAUTIFUL.... I Searched for this very song only this morning 🌅., I am in so much pain,#fibromyalgia. #Osteoarthritis. #BreastCancer. #Sinusitis..,..Start singing this Song and it made me feeling better. ( STRONG AND COURAGEOUS) my God is truly a healer #health is my portion....In Jesus mighty Name......I THANK him for this Song even though it was a Lie.... Let Almighty God be his judge! 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
It's amazing the song that he wrote, is soo powerful he felt shame singing it 😭😭
i think he needs our prayers more now than he did when we thought he was dying. i hope people wont judge him. i loved this song, i heard it at soul survivor week b, and it inspired me. its a god-inspired song and he cant change that. x
as long as he repent.
Jesus will forgive him
nobody in this world is perfect
either u and me
Jesus, pls forgive me.
I am sinner.
depend ur blood, wash away my sins
Hallelujah!
God looks at the hearth of the person.
enfelice are you God? no. then you cannot tell God who he can or can't forgive.
He still would have had to face the consequences on a worldly level, but God would forgive him in the spiritual sense.
God doesn't make us do anything. Free will.
Yes. and he sees that they are desperately wicked to the core! This is why Christ came, to save dying sinners and to reconcile them with God.
That's the Gospel - but of course you will never have come across that at Hillsongs..
Having lost my father and 2 close friends to cancer this makes me sick
Michael thank you for that song..I do not care about whatever is behind the story, I care that that's my best song and it changed my life a whole lot. You're loved Michael and may God see you through whatever the real problem is! Thank you for imparting lives🙏🏻
he who is without sin cast the first stone the lord loves you Michael and will forgive you your song healer is beautiful
I agree! Watching this makes me feel like I want to LOVE on him and tell him that I will help him on the road to recovery. I award his honesty no matter how late it came. I think he is upset and feels guilt with himself "living a lie" while he probably told many others terrible things in hopes that they too will live a lie. (Homosexuals that can not be changed). This is a GREAT lesson for all. God bless Michael.
For me he is a great guy and I forgive him and God forgives him too. Please let him go.
Is a very powerful thing that you came out brother,we still love your song
For anyone who is seeking answers to whether or not God heals people, I say a big YES! God does miracles every day, people get healed from cancer and every other scourge that murders the body and the spirit. I know this. Go where God is. People will always let each other down, God will never betray us. Cancer is not God's will.
I journeyed through cancer in 2003, and am alive today to be a mother to four children and live out God's plan for my life.
There is hope.
Jo Hilder
no matter what he did, he wrote a Great song, and God is still useing it to build faith in the body of Christ. God bless you Michael.
Whatever he did, God has already forgiven. I pray that he finds the strength to move on and to fix what he has broken. For me anyways, he was acting like a human being.
There's no condemnation with Christ...We are saved by grace...We all sin but God is a merciful God.
I dont judge him, I'm going to pray for him and others within the body of Christ who struggle with similar issues.He made mistakes but God is still God and He loves him, so do I.
I would imagine those who invested time, money, emotions, and/or faith in his story feel terribly betrayed. Now that you know what BS smells like, avoid it.
His parents have forgiven him and-if he has genuinely come to Christ with a broken heart and a contrite spirit-Jesus has forgiven him. If you hold onto anger, that’s an excessive burden you carry on top of the challenges you’ve been given to experience for your benefit.
Forgive swiftly and get rid of the weeds so you can get back to growing to your full potential. ❤️❤️❤️🙏🏻
You can't live a lie, it's gonna tear you apart, being that it proves that we were made to be pure beings, TRUTHFUL in all our ways. Living a lie is like going against that. If you are about to tell a lie, go against it and tell the truth and see how good you feel about yourself, its the best feeling in that moment. Just look at at him how good he feels in this video, he releases it all out until he cries, see what i mean!
I'm really hurt that he lied; but my faith does not rest in a man, but in God. And I still receive a blessing from the song Healer.
Amen ❤️
I really am so sad of what happened and while watching him sing and saw him I was crying. He had touched a lot of lives at hillsong and Joel was touched by him as well. Darlene was loving him there as well. I don't believe that they cancelled the song healer on the album. I support Michael in every way. Yes he kept us in the dark but I know he is loved by God. He uses him to write beautiful powerful songs. God bless you and your family. Healer is a favorite of mine and my family. I want this time to be for Michael and to honour him for what he has done. Love your heart of worship and love being at edge to hear you and how you ring engage with others. What a man of g o d.
Gods Blessings to you Michael,Amanda,Ps Danny,Sharon,Kris & Danielle,we are so blessed that Jesus Christ is LORD! My prayers go out to you all & the Edge Family.Stay strong in our Lord Jesus Christ!
I actually feel sorry for him, he acknowledged what he did and clearly feels bad about it. My sister lied about having breast cancer, she carried the lie on for several years and never actually admitted that it was a lie, but we found out that she was never a patient in the hospital she claimed to be going to and there was no doctor that she named or even a radiology unit at the particular hospital . I don't really know why people do this, but my sister invented this story after breaking up with her partner. I will pray for him. Why was the oxygen mask necessary ?.
While I am sad that he lied, I didn't know about the lie, I just heard the song. I am glad that he has come out with the truth, and I remind everyone to remember the words of Paul: "But what does it matter? The important thing is that in every way, whether from false motives or true, Christ is preached. And because of this I rejoice." (Philippians 1:18) So I will continue to sing! Christ is still our healer and the author of life.
i'm very much agree with you!
"God still gets glory no matter how much we try to screw up His plan."
I like this guy. How many of us have confess the dirty secreet we are hiding from our love ones and other people. Look at someone on the comment saying this is unbelivable. I will tell you something.... unbelivable is when we are unable to come out openly with our dirty secreet, unbelivable is when we are unable to confess our sins to God and turn away from our evil ways. That is unbelivable my friend. More grease to your elbow Michael Guglielmucci for taking this bold step. God bless you more.
To me, his lies were used in a powerful way. Was is right to do that? ABSOLUTELY NOT. But the Lord has His hands over the situation. Despite everything, he has written a song that speaks to thousands. Forget about his story. Remain in the story of the lyrics and how it can permeate in all of our lives. Yes, including Michael who is TRULY sick.. and that sickness is the lies. Above all, God is still glorified.
you can't get good fruit from a bad tree.
Stephen Szucs all things work together for good.
He may have lied, but God could have used that song to genuinely touch people.
We are all bad trees, yet God uses us anyway.
Stephen Szucs so you would consider yourself a "good" tree?
"Nothing happens unless GOD allows it"... the Power of Grace covers the sin of even liers... I am grateful to GOD for not taking his life but giving him life and that more abundantly... we can choose pain and anger or JOY and FORGIVENESS...
I choose Joy and Forgiveness because this song I know has brought healing and millions of Souls to GOD and even closer to GOD. Though Heaven or I condones lies, we know the truth that a repentive heart gets forgiveness... #PutAndKeepGODFirst
For me I also play bass in Church. Michael Guglielmucci is also the former bass player of Planetshakers. I can also relate my experience with Michael Guglielmucci, I even struggled from the sin of pornography addiction too and I even got suspended from the music ministry 3 times already.
Remember that we are all sinners. If we truly give our life to Jesus and repent, he can forgive us. REMEMBER THAT PORNOGRAPHY IS A SIN and it will lead to destruction.
Truly shows you God's unconditional love....this man was forgiven the moment he confessed....and the best of it all...God is still using that song "Healer" to change millions of people's lives across the globe! Truly amazing......he lied about his sickness to millions....we daily commit sins that no one would ever know about.....same thing in God's eyes! But the truth is that there is forgiveness for him and for us...no matter what you did!! We serve an awesome God!!!!!
All of us fall short in our life. There is no way any of us could stand a chance on our own. Praise the Lord, that Christ has died on the Cross in connecting us to God and wiping our sins away through His blood. And if it weren't for His grace and love, we would all never be here. Praise God for not being like us, if He were, we all would stand no chance.
thank you hillsong for posting this video. this shows that you do not try to hide this, but accept it and move on. be blessed!
It’s not a Hillsong account. It’s only named as such
This is the very reason that it is hard for some to believe that Jesus is the Son of the living God Savior to all. I can testify that He was, is now and will always be the King of Kings Lord of Lords forever!! Hallelujah
13 years. WOW. 13 years sincr i fell away from god. I looked upto this man and when it came out in the news, I couldnt quite comprehend it and didnt understand.. 13 years too long to be away from god. Its good that GOD has cleaned me up. I no longer drink or take drugs. Im on the mend and now my faith is strong and based wholey on God! Amen
exactly what i was thinking!! i also pray that we as christians will show upon mike the love and grace Jesus has shown us and continues to show us everyday :).
like the man beside Jesus that accepts his punishment but when he confess his sins surely now he's living in God's kingdom...
If I had a voice in this scenario, here I speak. This report was posted more than three years ago, and we still argue about it today. God loves this man. He had the gut to go up there and tell the truth. He was able to be true to himself and true to others. Now what does his song mean then? Jesus asked the crippled man IF he wanted to be healed, IF he believed. God has grace, grace for every sinner, every liar, every thief. He is not excluded from this.
amen~ it seems like God is doing something great in Mike's heart by bringing this out into the open. Let the LIGHT shine forth!
Everyone specially this time struggling in such sin, however if we react unchristianly or without Christ's love, then...this one goes out to all who hated this event... Cast the first stone if you're without sin, and tore out psalms and proverbs in the bible just a sample, because David coveted a soldier's wife and killed that soldier....and Solomon is addicted to woman. God bless everyone...God's love never fails.
Great Michael, He is Faithful and Just if We Confess our Sins.
This incident help me see this verse come alive through brother Mike, 2nd Corinthians 12:9. Mike still proclaim the truth through His Words, and sang a powerful song, one that has broken me down in tears and given me a place in experiencing healing..
I only started following Hillsong because of Michael and the Healer song. God bless you Mike
i still appreciate michael guglielmucci's humility. not every one can open his secret sin. but i'm sad about the consequences that will be brought to him. gaining trust takes time. the hearts that were betrayed takes time to heal.
the responsibility of every christian(especially in Hillsong Church) is to continue to love and forgive and help those who fail.Jesus told us--"The world will know that we are His disciples if we love one another".
Let's fix our eyes on Jesus alone..
This doesn't surprise me. As Christians, we are still sinners, just like everyone else.
+cattieloves Sin leveling.
Christians are no longer sin need we are new creatures
I don’t understand how you could look at your parents, your wife, your best friends and let them believe that you’re dying. The amount of fear they must have been living. His family have my prayers. At any point if he’d started to feel guilty he could have said he was now healed, but instead he let the cancer get worse. It seems like munchausens disorder. Then trying to blame it on porn? that way there’s this outside evil source to blame, not his own selfish need for attention. Instead of being judged as an attention seeker, people will congratulate him on his humility for admitting porn? Nope he is just continuing to deceive & manipulate. Plus his admission only came after a newspaper already broke the story.
And as they continued to ask him, he stood up and said to them, “Let him who is without sin among you be the first to throw a stone at her.”.... John 8:7
I pray that we show the same grace and mercy that God bestows upon us, and also learn to separate the precious from the vile. Prove all things, and hold on to that which is good(1 Thessalonians 5:21). Blessed be the name of the Lord.
God Bless You Mike - I pray you get better mentally and emotionally...
He needs to be in an asylum
Who among us has not sinned. He is forgiven by the Father. We are charged to not only forgive him but to lift him up and help him. I for one, stand behind Mike because I know that I have sinned and been forgiven.
Healer song is God breathed...i believe that..and Mike Guglielmucci is one of the millions christians who are struggling with the same temptation... i still believe in Ps mike and Love him..i am praying for him..God will use this song to heal everybody to those who are hurting...
it takes great humility to confess such sin guys. We as Christians aren't "perfect" and as human beings, we fail; only JESUS can't fail us, we gotta remember that. God's faithful to forgive those who sin and confess it and we are nobody to judge a person, for non of us have not sinned! Remember Matthew 7:3 "Why do you look at the speck of saw-dust in your brother's eye and pay no attention to the plank in your own eye?" So, as sinners, let's pray for him that GOD may heal him.
I’ll stand beside any others who confess. We all are told to “...confess our sins one to another...” There’s things i have to confess, and hope that I have the balls like God gave Mike.
For those of us who know the Lord, let's pray that God gives us the wisdom to know how to deal with such situations for its not the first nor the last. Less judgment and indulgence and more compassion and prayer. i believe he sang this song knowing it was true for him for he was ill and now that the illness has been exposed, he will get help and God will heal him.
And he said, Take heed that ye be not deceived: for many shall come in my name, saying, I am Christ; and the time draweth near: go ye not therefore after them. - Luke 21:8 #redemption #thecross4gives
what would jesus do? it was what came to my mind...
I just say God bless him and that was very courageous on his part to do that, I am sure that God already pardoned him (if he truly repented) ... God loves us all, and above all... :)
the greatest commandment that was given to us was. to LOVE.
LOVE IS THE ANSWER.
Although this comes as a shocker, it's GREAT because he's honest and open with who he really is. Now God can redeem him. "If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness." -1 John 1:9. Hallelujah, he's confessed his sins! I think this took A LOT of character to do. It's not a time of judgment, but of mercy. It's in things like this that the world will see...how DO followers of Jesus act? Still with His love? I certainly hope so.
Ephesians says that we used to walk according to the course of this world, to the prince of the power of the air, the spirit who know works in the sons of disobedience but God who is rich in mercy & great love has made us alive together with Christ. (Eph 2:1-6) Mike being a human is altogether capable of sinning and he's bold enough to stand up and confess, prayers and supports should be with him to take him away from the sway of the evil one. God bless you
It's sad.. lets keep him in our prayers - Healer is still fantastic, and will touch many more people...lets keep his fam in our prayers as well.
It's the power of God, needs a lots of courage to came on front of thousands of people and confess a such thing.
So since his truly broken, a belive God forgave him, we should too. And be proud that he confess and we should support him in our prays.
God bless him, and i belive since he had a courage to came and say the truth, a lot people can do the same waching his steps, and be healed as well.
@ExtremeFaithInJesus What blows my mind having only even heard of this just now is that I have had stage 4 cancer twice and so far nobody even wants to hear what I have to shrare!
Just sad. Let's pray for him.. :(
I dont care what anyone thinks of this song. Songs are written as a cry of the heart and it seems this was his heart's cry to be changed by a "Healer". A very anointed song given by God, which did indeed free him from the bonds of lies. Who are we to decide not to sing this song in church if God's the one who put it into form?
And whats make your sins worse than his? Doesn't matter what he did, his sins aren't different than ours, his sins aren't worse than ours, we all have been out of line at some point, and what about thank his Honesty, thank his Courage to confront his problem? He is humans, and his actions are not be judged by anyone! Only our God will judge him!
Well he devieved many, including me, and just an apology is a hard ask for forgiveness, but Jesus forgives anyone so... i should try to! I hope he really is on the right track and walk with God now
In this video, I can now prove that God is really a healer. He is a liar. And that is his illness that needs a cure from our healer. Let's make an illustration, if you are sick, the first thing you wanna do is to go your doctor. And tell him what you feel, your illness. So that, your doctor will know that you are sick and you need to be healing. And that's what Ptr. Mike did. He bravely confessed his illness cause he want a healing. How will God heal him if don't confess it? This is another victory of God. God is a healer.
I know what you felt about the song. First when I watched this video, I felt the same but I asked God to open my eyes. And he revealed me that Michael was suffering from Porno addiction instead of cancer. Michael was afraid and ashamed to reveal that. The song is for God and not to be appeal to men. Through this God revealed us real christian and how there is no forgiveness among us he forgive our sins. What is the point to ask for forgiveness to God when you do not forgive at all
What Michael Guglielmucci did was wrong, hurtful and deceitful, and he caused much pain to many people.
But God uses every situation and circumstance to draw people closer to him.
A man has fallen, but through repentance and forgiveness he will rise again. What better person to use as an example of Gods grace and mercy, than a person that is a public figure. It is just another example on how God is working on us, so that we will eventually come forward and confess our sins.
Praise God!
Even someone that God called as "the man after My own heart" King David committed indescribable sins to today's standard: 'killing' and 'adultery'. And Yet till today, Psalms has blessed countless number of people in so many different ways. Let's put Michael's sins in this perspective and put it behind us. 'Healer' is still a blessing for me and my friends.
: we are all responsible for our own actions, yes there's grace, but also discipline but that is not our job, leave it to God & Mikes Pastor/counsel board members. God bless everyone.
The thing that bothers me about this story, is it's like they think people shouldn't have bought his song, when in fact the song itself is still powerful and true, and would have blessed a lot of people.
I think the song Healer is for those spiritually (as this man)as well as the physically sick. Perhaps that is why the church sang it with such deep devotion. There is a healing needed across the land for many who are caught in the trap of the enemy. Judgment begins at the house of God, this is good he is being truthful. In this age of grace, there is mercy with the judgment, because of the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ. Repentance and restitution are needed here. And healing for all.
Yes, whatever his incentive, the words of that song are simply marvelous.
How evil SIN is. It can ruin the best of us. I forgive you Pastor Michael Guglielmucci and I'm sure God has too. May God help you and us through these troubles at hand.
Give all your sins to Jesus and seek HIM. He died for us, so that our sins WILL be forgiven. Let HIM work in you.
Just because of what has happened, doesn't take away from anything he's preached. I've been to his services and felt and agreed with every word he's spoken about the youth of Australia, and while all this personal stuff was going on I believe his love for the youth of Australia was and still is real and genuine, I still hold him in high regard. He's no different to me, except i'm not famous and didn't have the pressure. I don't care how righteous you think you are every guy has looked at porn
The truth will set you free!
As a Christian, this devastates me. He did so much damage for the kingdom through this. I truly am sorry for anyone who gets yet another apparent reason to resent Christianity. Just shows that we are all broken and sinners and in need of a Loving savior for already paid the cost for our sins, even a deceptive, damaging lie like this. God bless.
Michael Guglielmucci is still a brother in Christ, and one that is in need of prayers and love.
For all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God...
I love Guglielmucci's cover version of "I Touch Myself". It is almost as good as the original version from Divinyls.
Jesus Christ our saviour our king of glory love you more than you can imagined all your sins is forgetten trust in God always with all your heart mind and soul beloving brother
Love you so so much in Jesus name
