A few days ago, I heard the rhema words, “Mary, guard your bicycle.” Then I saw a quick vision of a bicycle being brought into a house for further security from thieves.

My name is not Mary, so I wondered why the Holy Spirit used the name Mary when speaking to me. He told me that Mary can be a ‘blanket’ name for the many women who follow Christ.

I was a bit ashamed to admit to the Holy Spirit that I hadn’t yet purchased a bicycle—preferably an e-bike given my age and weight—knowing of the gas and diesel shortages coming. Bicycles will increase in value quickly, and eventually be hard to acquire. He encouraged me to make purchasing a bicycle a priority, and He would lead me to find just the right one. He also cautioned me and others to take extra precautions securing bicycles from theft. The good old days when people nonchalantly left unsecured bicycles outside of stores while shopping, and even in their home driveways, are over.

In a second dream vision, the Holy Spirit showed me a motorcycle delivery truck coming up my driveway. Though I am not of the age or inclination to take up riding a motorcycle, I believe the Holy Spirit gave me this flash vision to encourage others who are more able to drive motorcycles/mopeds to consider purchasing them.

Scripture:

Isaiah 30: 19-21

¹⁹ People of Zion, who live in Jerusalem, you will weep no more. How gracious he will be when you cry for help! As soon as he hears, he will answer you. ²⁰ Although the Lord gives you the bread of adversity and the water of affliction, your teachers will be hidden no more; with your own eyes you will see them. ²¹ Whether you turn to the right or to the left, your ears will hear a voice behind you, saying, “This is the way; walk in it.”

Luke 11: 21

²¹ “When a strong man, fully armed, guards his own house, his possessions are safe.
