Michael Guglielmucci, who inspired hundreds of thousands of young Christians with his terminal cancer "battle", has been exposed as a fraud.

The problem is the pastor wasn't dying at all

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.

In one church performance that has attracted 300,000 hits on YouTube, he performs his hit song with an oxygen tube in his nose.

"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."

That's old news, he was stripped of his ministry and his church has promised to repay all the money he received. Just goes to show that lying for the Lord is alive and well in Australia.

Unfortunately, there will always be hucksters out there looking to prey on those who trust easily.
