My Personal Testimony

(Why I Wrote This Book)

A number of years ago, I was sitting in an airport in

Tulsa, Oklahoma, waiting for bad weather to subside.

Every airline had been canceled for eight hours.

Remembering an idea I had carried for some time, I pulled

out my black legal pad notebook and proceeded to write

down every scripture from Genesis through Revelation

that contained some kind of blessing or promise. My goal

was to create a book without any other scripture except

the blessing scriptures. .in the sequence that they were

recorded in the Bible. It would reveal the stream of

blessing that God had created to flow into mankind. .in

every single book of the Bible. At that time, it never

occurred to me to see exactly how many kinds of blessings

were obvious.

That book later became known as the best selling, "The

Blessing Book." Tens of thousands were sold through

other ministries.

Approximately two years later, I sat on a platform in

Washington, DC. My pastor friend was receiving the

church tithe and offerings. As I was sitting there,

contemplating the amount I should sow, the Holy Spirit

very gently nudged me with a question, "How many kinds

of blessings are there in my Word?" I remembered my

9

The Covenant of 58 Blessings

special study. "58," I replied inside my spirit. (Now, there's

probably a lot more than 58, but that's how many I

counted personally.)

"Plant a special Seed of $58 into this offering today. It

will become a memory in the mind of God and will be a

monument to your faith that you want to stand in

covenant with your God for the entire 58 blessings to

occur during your lifetime."

It sounded utterly ridiculous to me. Nobody heard it.

It was so strong, I remember looking around and

wondering if anybody had felt or sensed what was going

on inside me.

I have always known that certain numbers were

important to God. He is always specific. Always illogical.

Whether it is dealing with Gideon's 300.. or instructing the

Israelites to walk around the walls of Jericho seven

consecutive days. .and seven times around the walls on

the seventh day. .or the prophet telling the leper to dip

seven times in Jordan. Numbers do matter. Obviously,

they do not seem to matter to us. .but to the One who gave

us the instruction.

I wrote out a special Seed for $58 immediately.

Suddenly the Holy Spirit again whispered, "Plant a special

Seed of $58 for your son, Jason. It will represent that you

are in covenant. That I will honor your son and bless him

in his life likewise."

Obviously, my mind began to dig for scriptural

validation. Was it my personal imagination? It never

lingered long in my heart for that consideration as I lived

continuously in relationship and communion with the

10

My Personal Testimony

Holy Spirit.

It doesn't take me long to recognize my mother's voice

on the telephone.

Relationship really makes a difference.

That's why I never get into an argument with people

concerning whether God spoke to me or not. If He spoke

to me, it doesn't make any difference whether they believe

it or not.

I wrote out a second Seed faith gift of $58 and this time

I placed Jason's name on it specifically.

I believe that giving money as a trade out for a miracle

borders on blasphemy. Just recently, I have had people

throw down hundreds of dollars on a table asking me to

pray a specific prayer of blessing over their life. I refused.

Certainly, I could have used their offering for our ministry

and it is very needed. .but the spirit and motive behind it

reminds me of Acts 8:18-23.

And when Simon saw that through the laying on of the

apostles hands the Holy Ghost was given, he offered them

money, saying, Give me also this power, that on whomsoever I

lay hands, he may receive the Holy Ghost. But Peter said unto

him, thy money perish with thee, because thou hast thought

that the gift of God may be purchased with money. Thou hast

neither part nor lot in this matter: for thy heart is not right in

the sight of God, if perhaps the thought of thine heart may be

forgiven thee. For I perceive that thou are in the gall of

bitterness, and in the bond of iniquity.

My mind very carefully reviewed all that I could

remember about giving offerings to the Lord. Was there

an occasion in the Bible where a man specifically gave an

11

The Covenant of 58 Blessings

offering to the Lord and experienced a direct result?

Certainly. "And David build there an altar unto the Lord, and

offered burnt offerings and peace offerings. So the Lord was

entreated for the land, and the plague was stayed from Israel."

(II Samuel 24:25) This followed the horrible tragedy of

70,000 people dying within 72 hours following David's sin.

Scripturally, the purpose of sowing or giving to God is

to create the rewards of obedience.

"Honor the Lord with thy substance, and with the first

fruits of thine increase: so shall thy barns be filled with plenty,

and thy presses shall burst out with new wine." (Prov. 3:9)

"Bring ye all the tithe into the storehouse, that there may

be meat in mine house, and prove me now herewith, saith the

Lord of host, if I will not open you the windows of heaven and

pour out a blessing, that there shall not be room enough to

receive it. And I will rebuke the devourer for your sakes, and

he shall not destroy the fruits of your ground; neither shall

your vine cast her fruit before the time in the field, saith the

Lord of host. And all the nations shall call you blessed."

(Malachi 3:10-12)

"Give, and it shall be given unto you; good measure,

pressed down, and shaken together, and running over, shall

men give into your bosom. For with the same measure that

you mete withal it shall be measured to you again." (Lk. 6:38)

When Peter discussed leaving all to follow Jesus, Jesus

answered and said:

Verily I say unto you, there is no man that hath left

house, or brethren, or sisters, or father, or mother, or wife, or

children, or lands, for my sake and the gospel's, but he shall

receive an hundredfold now in this time, houses, and brethren,

12

My Personal Testimony

and sisters, and mothers, and children, and lands, with

persecutions; and in the world to come eternal life. (Mark

10:29-30)

It astounds me that men who want to believe so many

other scriptures have a problem with these scriptures.

Those who believe what Jesus said about heaven and hell

are incensed that anyone would want to embrace these

scriptures on reward, harvest, and financial response from

God to a single act of Seed sowing or an act of

disobedience.

Some feel that it is sinful to expect a financial gift from

God. Yet, every day these same individuals beg God for

things far more valuable and far more worthy than

money. They ask for wisdom, the salvation of a loved one,

the healing of an uncle who has cursed God his entire

lifetime. They beg God to send someone to buy their

house, or car, or even ask the Lord to win a lottery on

which they have gambled.

People are funny. Maybe very blind.

Anyway, I've got to get back to my story.

I started believing about Jason after I planted the

special Seed of $58 and gave it an assignment—that God

would remember my Seed as a testimony of my

confidence toward Him regarding His covenant with me.

My money was important to me. My faith was to God. My

mind wandered that morning after I planted the Seed. I

had gone through a very devastating divorce when my

son was just 18 months old. There had been deep

difficulties and walls of conflict as his mother had married

two more times. Two child custody cases had left me

13

The Covenant of 58 Blessings

broke. I had really given up on any possibility of having

my son and being able to raise him in my presence and

serving the Lord in church.

But, I had given my Seed an ASSIGNMENT. You see, a

watermelon seed contains an invisible instruction to create

watermelons. An apple seed contains an invisible

instruction to create apples. A tomato seed never consults

a cantaloupe seed with a puzzled question, "What do you

think I ought to become?" You see, the Creator of this

universe places an instruction.. an assignment.. in

everything He creates. It may be invisible to the human

eye. It may be a silent message or assignment. But the

harvest reveals what it contains. That's why it is with our

seeds that we sow into this world. It is important to give

them invisible instructions and call in the harvest where

we need the results the most.

Within a few weeks, I landed back at the Dallas airport

and was very surprised to see my secretary standing

there. She had never met me in the airport to my

knowledge.

"Jason will be here in one hour at the other airport at

Love field," she said excitedly.

"What's wrong?" I instantly was tense.

"Nothing," she said. "His mother has just decided that

he can come spend the rest of his life with you."

That was the beginning of a most incredible journey of

miracles that I have ever known during my whole

lifetime.

One night, in a little Bible study in Dallas I rather

14

My Personal Testimony

hesitatingly told the people about my experience with the

$58 Seed. I suggested that they plant it as a special signal

and message to the Lord that they were in covenant with

Him for something specific with their life.

"You cannot buy a miracle with money," I insisted as I

always do. "But, you can plant this as a Seed of your faith

and believe God will provide a supernatural harvest as He

did for my life."

That night a couple wrote the name of their daughter

on their check. She was addicted to cocaine. Her life was

in shambles. They were devastated. Fourteen days later,

that daughter accepted Christ and was set free from

drugs.

One night, Jesse Perez who travels with me wherever I

go planted a special Seed of $58. He wrote on the left hand

corner of his check, "Better family relations." You see,

there was a sister who had left home 48 years prior. No

one in the entire family had seen nor heard from her in

those 48 years. No one knew whether she was alive or

dead. He had not seen two of his daughters in five years.

Jesse had not had a meal with his entire family for

approximately 15 years. Fourteen days after he planted his

Seed, he was able to spend several days with his two

daughters. I got to experience a meal with his entire

household, and within 90 days they had located and

found that sister unheard of for 48 years. His 86 year old

father accepted Christ. His mother gave her life to the

Lord and his sisters and his daughters had marvelous

spiritual experiences with God. Within days and weeks.

It would astound you if I had kept every single

15

The Covenant of 58 Blessings

letter. .recorded every single testimonial.. and perhaps it's

best that I have not though my files are stacked full of

incredible letters validating the power of God.

God wants to be worshiped. not His Seed that He

provides for us.

Many ministers have asked me about the mystery of

the $58 and the covenant with God.

I don't really have any answers. That's like asking

Naaman to analyze why dipping in Jordan removed his

leprosy. It is like asking Joshua how the marching affected

the walls of Jericho so that they fell approximately on the

seventh day. It is like asking the blind man to explain the

chemistry in the spittle and the clay that removed a

lifetime of blindness.

I really don't know. I do speculate a lot. I crave

wisdom. I have an intense appetite to understand what

creates currents of miracles.

My thoughts are that it is not the amount of the Seed

that matters a whole lot to God. But, whether it is an act of

faith. I feel that your Seed is what God multiplies. .but

your faith is why He multiplies it.

Some have sowed Seed with carnal motives to

manipulate, gamble and simply experiment.

I doubt that they will ever see any results to their Seed.

God cannot be bought with silver and gold.

Thousands have seen miracles. Unbelievable miracles.

I do believe that any miracle you ever receive from

God will require an act of faith on your part. I also believe

that you will have to believe some man of

16

My Personal Testimony

God. .somewhere. .sometime. .before God ever releases a

miracle toward you. "Believe in the Lord your God, so shall

you be established; believe his prophets, so shall you prosper."

(II Chron. 20)

People are cocky these days. Very arrogant toward

preachers. They sneer and the world system will invest

millions of dollars to wreck a man's credibility. So,

consequently, thousands of naive and unthinking sheep

follow the pied piper of the media over the cliff into the

abyss of doubt and unbelief.

Certainly, there are wolves in sheep's clothing.

Nobody can doubt that. But, they will stand before their

Maker to give an account for every idle word and every

false manipulative system and program they have

implemented.

Here are the things that are important:

1. God wants to bless you in a special way.

2. He is capable of providing every one of these 58

kinds of blessings to your life and to those you love

every day of your life.

3. You must do something. .some act of obedience

before you will experience any rewards for your

obedience.

4. He will often ask you to do something illogical,

impractical and something others have never

heard of.

5. He may tell you to do something that He never

speaks to others to do. .uniquely your personal

instruction because it forces you to use your faith.

17

The Covenant of 58 Blessings

6. What He tells you to do may be for you alone and

not others.

7. He may give an instruction to a man of God who

then imparts that instruction on to you like He did

the widow of Zarephath through Elijah the

prophet.

8. You may have to go on the prophet's word alone

instead of your own inner confirmation of the

Spirit. (This happened to the widow of Zarephath.

It was the word of the prophet she believed.) I had

an interesting experience in Florida in a

conference. A well known man of God sent me a

note along with other men of God around me

saying he was supposed to address the conference.

I never felt it whatsoever. Finally, his tears moved

me and I gave him the microphone. The power of

God fell through his ministry in an unprecedented

way. Miracles happened all over the auditorium. I

never felt the presence or moving of the Holy

Spirit during the entire time that he ministered.

Even when the service was over, I did not "feel" it

whatsoever. God taught me something. That He is

moving around me whether I feel it or not.

Wisdom permits others to honor the Holy Spirit

moving within themselves.

9. If you choose to disobey an instruction of the man

of God, you must live with the consequences or

losses your doubt has created.

10. If you are waiting for a specific instruction to come

from a man of God that fits with your philosophy,

18

My Personal Testimony

behavior pattern, or the logic of your mind. .you

may live your entire lifetime without ever

experiencing a miracle.

11. When a man of God gives you an instruction, it is

your faith in God that causes the reward system to

work for you.

12. Your reaction to a man of God determines God's

reaction to you.

13. God never tells you to do something that is

impossible, but usually illogical.

14. It is not merely a Seed that we sow (of our time,

love, money) but it is our faith that is wrapped

around the Seed that really produces the harvest

we desire.

I really hope that when you finish reading this book

that you will sit down and plant a very special Seed of $58

into the work of the Lord somewhere. It certainly does not

have to be my own ministry. In fact, I would encourage

you to plant it in your local church and pastor. .wrapped

with your intense faith in God and count off 58 days on

your calendar. Then, document the unusual things that

begin to happen for good in your life and those you love.

You will never be the same again.

Some people will misinterpret this grossly. It saddens

me, but I can't go another several years without sharing

this and giving others access to a potential miracle.

Just a quick closing thought. My mother and father are

well into their seventies. Financial rivers have never

flowed at the Murdock household. In fact, the highest

19

The Covenant of 58 Blessings

salary any church ever paid my father as pastor was $125

per week. My father had to pay his own house note, car,

etc. Yes, seven children were in our family. Consequently,

mother and daddy could never afford medical insurance.

Especially, they couldn't begin it while they were in their

seventies. Tragedy struck and my mother required a

double bypass surgery in Houston, Texas at a major

hospital. Upon leaving the hospital, they found that one of

their major bills alone was $48,000 for the surgery. My

poor parents scrapped every cent they could possibly get

together and eventually (with a little help from myself and

other children) got the bill to $26,622.

God impressed me to record my story about the $58

Seed on a little cassette tape and send it to my parents and

a few other friends. My mother called, "Son, daddy and I

felt God on that tape. We're sending a $58 Seed. We sure

need some miracles at our house." I knew they did too.

It was sort of funny but my mother called me after one

week and said, "Son, it's been a week now and I can't say

that I've actually seen any miracles. Am I doing anything

wrong?" I laughed aloud, and said, "Of course not mother.

Give God time."

She did the same thing the following week. But, when

I returned home from a meeting at the end of the third

week, three messages were on my machine to call home.

When my mother and father answered, they were both so

excited they could hardly talk.

"Son, I can hardly catch my breath," said my father

who rarely is that talkative. What happened? That hospital

had written and called saying, "Your bill of $26,622 came

20

My Personal Testimony

to our attention. Once in a while, we want to do

something that helps somebody. Your bill is marked paid

in full."

The hospital had paid my mother and father's entire

Coincidence?

Well, what are the chances of it happening to you?

What are the chances of it happening within 21 days from

the time you plant a very illogical, impractical and

ridiculous seed of $58? No, I would not build my entire

life on a coincidence. .nor even a one time experience. My

life is built on the Word of the living God. If I never

received a harvest, and I never saw a miracle resulting

from any Seed I planted. .I would still love my precious

Jesus with all of my heart, serve God with total

abandonment, and strive to tell people about Jesus

throughout the world. He is what is important on earth,

not a few stacks of money.

Please read my heart accurately. I am just saying that

at some point in your life. ."When you want something

that you have never had, God will tell you to do

something that you have never done."

That's when your journey of miracles will finally

begin.

knowledge by the same Spirit; To another faith by the same

Spirit; to another the gifts of healing by the same Spirit; To

another the working of miracles; to another prophecy; to

A Letter From My Pastor

Dear Mike,

Miracles! Miracles! Miracles! I just wanted to write and

tell you that ever since you introduced the $58 Seed

offering, our whole church has experienced a harvest like

never before. Members of our congregation have received

promotions in their jobs, new cars, bigger homes and

restoration in their families. My own home was obtained

as a result of my obedience in sowing the $58 offering.

After negotiating a year for a million dollar piece of

property, I sowed a $580 Seed to your ministry and God

gave us the land for our new church building.

Thank you for your diligence in seeking the wisdom of

the Lord. The revelation knowledge that you walk in has

greatly blessed our lives. If every church could grasp hold

of this kind of teaching, it would totally revolutionize

Christendom.

Your Pastor and forever friend,

Pastor Thomas DeLaGarza

Your Special Opportunity

Dear Friend,

I want to give you a special opportunity to plant Your

Special Seed of $58 (or whatever amount the Holy Spirit

has spoken to your heart). .to spread the Wisdom of God.

As you sow, remember His promise to "open you the

windows of Heaven, and pour you out a blessing, that there

shall not be room enough to receive it." (Mal. 3:10)

Yes, Mike! I'm sowing with expectation that God will

perform His Word and multiply the Seed Sown! I am not

trying to buy a miracle, nor your prayers but rather to

document in the eyes of God that I am in covenant with

His Word and want to see every blessing fulfilled in my

personal life.
