Keep preaching to rusty locks
Many men's hearts are like rusty locks. It takes a great deal of work to open them, especially if the key is not the right key and fitted to every notch. But now come to a lock where the key is fitted to every notch fully and a child may turn it. You can turn it with one of your fingers. So the Lord sometimes, indeed, so speaks the Word to many men's hearts which are like rusty locks, so that the Word does not fit. There are many notches in their hearts. Many objections lie in their hearts against the Word so that the Word does not fit them, and so their hearts are not opened. But at another time, the Lord is so pleased to direct His word that He makes the key as fit for such a man's heart as can be, and then He opens it immediately. In an instant, the heart of this man is opened that has been shut against God all the days of his life . [Jeremiah Burroughs, Gospel Fear , pp. 88-89]
