Have You Placed Your Order?

When you go into a restaurant to dine, a server seats you and gives you a menu. Everything that is needed to prepare your order is in the kitchen. But what happens if you never place your order? You will just sit there, hungry! Eventually, you may ask a server, “Why don’t I have any food?” In response, the server will ask, “Did you place your order?”

This scenario is typical of how many Believers in the Body of Christ are operating today. They’ve become so “need-minded” that they’ve forgotten to “place their order.” They sit around wondering why they haven’t received the manifestation of God’s promises, and it’s because they’ve never put in the order for them.

Practically speaking, we know that grace has already made everything we will ever need available to us. But my question to you is this: when you look around and you don’t see the manifestation of your healing or deliverance, have you placed the order?

Philippians 4:19 declares, “But my God shall supply all your need according to his riches in glory by Christ Jesus.” In the Greek, that word “need” is translated “demands” and “orders.” God says He will supply all of your demands or orders! My God, that’s powerful!

So, it’s not about saying, “Well, God is going to take care of me; my needs are met. Come on Jesus! Come on Jesus!” No. It’s about having enough confidence in Jesus to say, “The supply is already here. So, Father, I’m putting in an order for healing right now. I’m making a demand for the supply of healing that’s already here, and I believe I receive this prescription filled now! I lay hold of it right now, in Jesus’ name!”

God will supply all of your needs—demands and orders—when you place a demand on the Word of God. As the righteousness of God by faith in Christ, you have access to everything that belongs to Jesus. He has reconciled you back to the Father. All you have to do is simply receive the finished works of Christ.

After you pray and put in your order for what God has already supplied, move into thanksgiving! Thank God for giving you the wisdom to know what to do, so that you’re not going around doing something that’s a waste of time. Seek His presence like you would seek oxygen if you were in a place where there was no oxygen supply!

Some people think their sins have separated them from God’s blessings and provisions, so they won’t put in their order because they’re mired down in guilt and condemnation. What? Romans 5:10, NLT, says, “For since our friendship with God was restored by the death of his Son while we were still his enemies, we will certainly be saved through the life of his Son.” Don’tallow the enemy to convince you that you don’t have a right to God’s blessings because you’ve done something wrong. The grace of God answers you in your most undeserving moments! You can have a confident expectation of good and not a fearful expectation of punishment (Romans 5:17, AMP).

So, what do you need today? The finished works of Jesus Christ include salvation, deliverance, prosperity, healing, etc. What do you need? If you’ll begin to place a demand on God’s Word, all things are possible! There are no more limits! God will supply all of your demands! So, have you placed your order yet?

“So let us come boldly to the throne of our gracious God. There we will receive his mercy, and we will find grace to help us when we need it most” (Hebrews 4:16, NLT).

  The Bible says we have not because we ask not! (James 4:2). My foundational series Come Boldly to the Throne of Grace will teach you how to go beyond simply agreeing with the Word to effectively knowing how to put in your order and place a demand on God’s provision. God desires to meet your needs, not some of the time—but all the time!
