About 8 years ago, (before we were married) my wife was given a Bose iPod docking station from her son as a gift.
The docking station is a portable sound system that amplifies your iPod Bose makes some of the best quality sound equipment and this docking station gets a lot of use. In the summer, we put it out by the pool to have music outside. It's the only thing we have for listening to music, except our computers.
About a month ago, the docking station gave up the ghost. It just stopped working. It wouldn't power up. We tried plugging it in to different outlets and did the usual troubleshooting, to no avail. Her beloved iPod dock was toast. (With no vegemite in sight.) We were pretty bummed out.
We have friends (Gwen & Larry) who had been in the area for a couple of weeks looking for home. We invited them over and planned a dinner party beside the pool.
They're a little 'outside the box' when it comes to how they walk out their life with Jesus. Gwen is the one who taught me how to command storms to cease a few years ago. She drives her car for days on an empty gas tank. She's one of those people who has incredible faith in God and knows her identity. Miracles follow her like crazy.
When they arrived, we were getting prepared. My wife took the broken docking station outside and placed in the stand on the patio - knowing that it didn't work. I didn't think much about it at the time.
We made some margaritas and got comfortable on the patio. Gwen and my wife got to talking and decide that it was time to pray over the broken iPod dock, so we could have music. (I later learned that she had this all planned out.) She believed that if, by faith, she brought it outside, plugged it in and had us pray over it, God would repair it.
So that's what we did.
The four of us stood in agreement and declared that the docking station would be repaired.
While I was praying, I saw a vision of broken electrical wires. So I commanded them to be made new. The others prayed as they were led by the Spirit. After everyone was done praying, my wife walked confidently over and turned the iPod on.
Music came forth. The docking station has worked perfectly since then.
We all rejoiced at God's gracious hand and the love He has for His kids. It was a wonderful night of telling Holy Ghost stories and praying for each other's needs.

I needed to hear this today as I struggle with waiting for healing and spend another Easter Sunday at home while my hubby services the churches as Interim pastor. He was fully healed overnight in Jan. 2012. Sickness has controlled my body since 1985, but now that we know He died for our diseases too, we fight to walk in divine health. Thank you Jesus....I love the faith expressed here...it motivates and inspires....A few months ago we prayed for our microwave the same way you prayed for the ipod dock, and it has been working since! God bless your Easter!
