God's voice, as it flows through you, becomes flavored with who you are in Him. Sin would taint the final product, but a pure heart and mind only lends flavor, like a teaspoon of vanilla in cookie dough. You actually have the opportunity to enhance His message—not to change it, but to enhance it—when you walk the narrow way.
Although he himself was slovenly, Balaam repeated God's messages verbatim; and the Lord's power is such that Balaam was recognized as a prophet. God's word will stand, regardless of the individual He uses as a vessel or a channel. But how much better if His spokesperson sweetens the message!
God uses those He chooses, and you must not gauge the veracity of a prophet’s message based on the appearance of the prophet. But He has placed His hand on your unique way of expressing your thoughts and feelings. Again He reminds you, do not edit your responses based on the reactions of other people, but look to the Lord!
Scripture: "Am I now trying to win the approval of men, or of God? Or am I trying to please men? If I were still trying to please men, I would not be a servant of Christ" (Galatians 1:10).
