Geri, have you sprayed WD40 in to that lock system yet? It should ease things up. :rose: No, I don’t have the WD40 spray … I do have special oil for a paper shredder would that work? The lock looks to be working “fine” now … it looks like someone really PUSHED the inner core part in with a hammer. 😵💫 I think this is a spiritual battle going on. Just like the other time after witnessing to that couple in the vet animal hospital parking lot. I drove back into town to get gasoline and the pump I was at wouldn’t light up the lowest grade of unleaded … only the high grade would light up. And I kept pressing the button and nothing. So I just thought the low grade gas was out at that pump. So I drove to another pump to fill up and got what I wanted. Then after paying indoors with cash. I come back to my vehicle and some other guy is at that pump and I looked over and guess what … he was getting the low grade gasoline. 😵💫 So I walked over and said you must have the magic touch because I was just here and I couldn’t get the low grade button to light up and work .. it was only offering me the high grade choice. He thought that was so odd. So I’m just putting 2 and 2 together .. it’s a spiritual battle with these weird issues … Geri, I once had a lock problem and put cooking oil on the key then inserted it. It worked. WD40 is perfect for unloosing locks, and it has a lot of other household uses too. Including a tiny tube to hook on to spray deep in to the lock, if you're interested. Since you brought it up, I felt a concern from you post...did someone fool with you lock! Lord, please give Geri Your protection over her home and all that concerns her. Give her wisdom, protection and peace in Jesus Name. :bible I normally also lock the glass storm door too but this time I didn’t … I wasn’t going to be gone long. I left my dog loose instead of him being in his playpen. He is a VERY good guard dog. People are afraid of him - he is very aggressive with barking and won’t let up until they walk away. So I’m thinking nobody human did anything except the demonic forces. I looked around on all 3 floors to see if anything was disturbed or out of place also doubled check the basement door that leads outside. Everything looks to be in place and nothing has been disturbed. I thank you for your concerns and prayers! :rose: With the state of things today, if Jesus tarries, these are some possible home security idea's: Try those that best suit your needs. If you’re woken up by strange noises just press the alarm (or panic) button on your car’s keychain. If you’re on a budget and want to deter burglars, using a fake security system sign or a sticker often can be powerful enough to spook them. If you’ll be away for just a few hours leave the TV on and turn up the radio so that it can be heard from outside. You can also leave the vacuum or the mop bucket in the middle of the room. For French doors use a Patlock Nest and Ring are established brands on the market https://www.familyhandyman.com/list/inexpensive-ways-to-theft-proof-your-home/ Not to be a contrarian but graphite is better for locking systems since it doesn't collect dust or dirt. It comes in a small tube and you can get it at any hardware store. Just put the tip into the lock and give it a gentle squeeze. It doesn't take much. I really feel she is going to get saved and hopefully share with her family too since she is very close with them. When we are let down by a favorite high watch date passing this is a good thing to think about. This is the meaning of life, to turn to Jesus! Just think, if she does get saved she may be your best friend in eternity! So while we wait — pray for the lost - God is still working A recent Christian Revival event at the Corpus Christi campus of Texas A&M University drew over 1,000 students and administered over 120 baptisms, The Christian Post reported Friday.
