Ezekiel 13:3-10
6 They have envisioned futility and false divination, saying, ‘Thus says the Lord!’ But the Lord has not sent them; yet they hope that the word may be confirmed. 8 Therefore thus says the Lord God: “Because you have spoken nonsense and envisioned lies, therefore I am indeed against you,” says the Lord God. 10 “Because, indeed, because they have seduced My people, saying, ‘Peace!’ when there is no peace—and one builds a wall, and they plaster it with untempered mortar—

As in the times of Israel's demise, so now false prophets come into the church to claim a word of The Lord, yet only hope it will come true to prove themselves. God calls this nonsense and lies, and so should we. So many now only talk of peace, love, and making ourselves improve along with the world - yet Jesus told us there will be wars and difficult times, not as these ear tickling tales would mislead us into believing. There IS hope in Christ for eternity, but in this world we will have trouble. False prophecies against God's word only delude and keep us from true happiness. A word of the Lord is only so if the scriptures say so!
