Ezekiel 13:22-23
22 “Because with lies you have made the heart of the righteous sad, whom I have not made sad; and you have strengthened the hands of the wicked, so that he does not turn from his wicked way to save his life. 23 Therefore you shall no longer envision futility nor practice divination; for I will deliver My people out of your hand, and you shall know that I am the Lord.”
When false teachers and prophets catch the ears of those in churches - both believers who do not know God's word well, and the religious unbelievers attending - then the lies can sadden true believers when faith is shattered when healing does not happen that a man (not God) claimed must happen. Also, those who use grace and peace to hide sin are encouraged to sin more by the misleading ones. God will deliver those who are His, so "let everyone who names the name of Christ depart from iniquity." He will deal with the liars; we must deal with the truth, speaking it in love.
