*Update - I found out today that the whole story of Mike was a hoax...Its sad really because the song was such an inspiration to others...I feel sad for the people who gained such hope just by watching Mike. However, I still like to say that I still believe that God is our healer and despite circumstances on how this song was made, the lyrics to it are still true..
Ok, so I copied and pasted his name cos I juz couldn't spell it..lol
Who is Mike Guglielmucci? Whats his story? What so great? Well, I cant say I've got my facts right but it took me a while and reading various blogs as well as heard from people.
Mike is a youth pastor at Planetshakers Church in Melbourne City. He is also the bass guitar player of the team. In his mid 20's Mike was diagnosed with a blood disease around mid year 2006. It was a stage 3 terminal cancer disease. It struck him pretty bad, as at one point there was about 30 bones broken and fractured in his body due to the disease. Back pain, joint pains, wat pain oso got la. At that time based on statistics, the doctor told him he could live another 3.5 weeks.

What would u do? Lets say now I tell u, u had only 3.5 weeks to live. What would u do? Sulk at home? Go out and enjoy it all despite the inconvenience of moving around? Spend it all on frens, family, loved ones?

Well, here's what Mike did. He praised, praised and continue to praise God. He prayed, he worshipped, he continue to work for God. And he prayed for healing, kept going, got people to pray for him. He believed God put him in the world to lead a generation towards Christ and if it was God's will to take him away at such a young age, he let it be, and not let it deter him from continuing his work. At that moment he wrote 2 songs, Oh Praise Him and Healer. The latter song is one of the most beautiful songs ever written. Complete with the tune, lyrics and inspiration behind the song, it can really touch someone. Just hearing it will sooth yourself but listening and meaning what u sing in the lyrics, it makes me tear everytime. A brilliant song which is God inspired!
Healer - Planetshakers, written by Mike Guglielmucci
You hold my every moment
You calm my raging seas
You walk with me through fire
And heal all my disease
I trust in You
I trust in You
I believe You’re my Healer
I believe You are all I need
I believe You’re my Portion
I believe You’re more than enough for me
Jesus You’re all I need
My Healer, You’re my Healer
Nothing is impossible for You
Nothing is impossible for You
Nothing is impossible for You
You hold my world in Your hands
Dont just look at the lyrics, listen to the song!!!

As of today nearly 2 years later, Mike is still alive. Defying logic, science, nature, thats what God's power can do, from 3.5 weeks, nearly 2 years and he still is alive and will continue to be because many believe his time isn't up yet. Able to testify and share his experience over these 2 years, it trully is a miracle. Taken from his My space page,
“HEY GUYS!!!! INCREDIBLE NEWS!!!! THE HEALING PROCESS HAS BEGUN!!!! TODAY I WENT TO JOHN WESLEYS CHAPEL IN BRISTOL. AS I STOOD IN WESLEYS PULPIT GODS POWER TOUCHED MY BODY!!!!
