Despite my initial presumptions, I am forced to admit there is no logical reason for supposing God would only speak through spiritually perfect channels. We don’t even operate that way ourselves. For example, although the pure in heart are hardly aware of it, the Internet is essentially evil. Almost its every use feeds off its popularity, and at the heart of the Internet’s popularity is pornography. Yet no matter how evil the Internet usually is, whenever holy people use it to communicate, the result exalts the Lord Jesus and promotes virtue. So it should not surprise us that the Holy Lord occasionally chooses to speak through godless people or other channels that, when he is not speaking, are unclean. In fact, if it surprises us, we are close to hypocrisy because if God were to limit himself to using only spiritually perfect messengers, he could not use any of us. If the channel is usually godless it is no hindrance to God. For the brief moment that God speaks through an impure channel, evil is silenced and what is said is true and pure. When God stops speaking, what comes through that channel will revert to its usual godless chatter.
