Get Up Stand Up

The last HooRah of summer is upon us. This coming Labor Day Weekend I predict there will be grills blazing, buns toasting and tunes playing all of it surrounded by good friends and family . Happy Labor Day weekend everyone. You’re listening to Living the Freedom Life podcast and this is Episode 112 and today we are talking about Get Up Stand Up.

Ah yes. Good music by the pool, the grill going and being surrounded by good friends. That’s what summer is about. Traditionally, Labor Day weekend signifies the end of Summer.

There is a special place in my heart that’s reserved for the music of Bob Marley and the Wailers.

This song in particular speaks to me. Not for the fact that we were married in Jamaica, or that the backbeat makes MY head bob up and down.

But the message behind this song, it was a time of oppression. It was a time of sadness and darkness; right in the middle of poverty.

How many of you feel that you are in a dark place, or feel broken? How many of you listening today feel that the enemy is just gaining some ground? It feels as if every time we make one step forward, advance a little more, then we get knocked back even further than we gained.

After a few cycles of experiencing that, it beats you down. It makes one feel as if “This is my lot in life.”

Well, what I would like to say to you today, is that it is NOT the will of The Father for you to feel broken. I can tell you that it breaks His heart to know that you are feeling that “This is my lot in life.”

God didn’t create you with mediocrity in mind.

In fact, if you’ve accepted Jesus as your personal Savior, then you are no longer mediocre in any way. Because that part of you is dead. It’s gone. The part of you that feels like the enemy has gained ground, that person is dead, hung on the cross without a chance of survival. Every time you think of those Roman Soldiers gouge, spit, poke, and stab that body hanging on the cross, let that be insurance of that death.

Why? Why am I painting such a grim picture of this?

Because each time we feel beat down by the enemy, it is ridiculous. Because you know this, when JESUS was on that cross, HE died a death that we should have died. Remember, we are crucified with Christ as it says in Galatians 2:20. What that means is that old person that we were, is dead. I mean DEAD and it is finished. The good news part of that is where Jesus trades that death we were supposed to experience for giving us, His life. His royal, divine life. Now, it says that we are joint heirs with Him in the Heavenlies (Rom 8:17).

Now, here is my point and the reason I was playing you a Bob Marley song earlier.

That divine life that’s inside you, is Jesus Himself. He is in you. That’s no joke! That’s reality!

It seems that you don’t get what I’m saying yet.

When we feel oppressed, when we feel beaten down, when we feel that the enemy is gaining ground on us and we just can’t go on any more, it’s all a lie. It’s a lie!

If you’re tired, that’s one thing. I get that. Go get some rest. Your body is tired, go get some rest. That’s not what I’m talking about right now.

When we feel oppressed, can’t you see, we are actually choosing to be oppressed. Listen, don’t make this about race, I’m not even going to entertain that. I’m not going to discuss what happened when our Great, Great Grandparents were here. I’m talking about today. What you are experiencing in your skin, in your heart today, right now.

Jesus gave you all authority and all power and He didn’t hold anything back. You didn’t just get a portion of it. You have access to the FULLNESS of His power and authority.

Another great thing about this is that when you draw from His power, you’re not depleting the supply. He never runs out. When He gives you power, He doesn’t have to make sure the store room is kept full just in case you need more because we may run low. No! You have a limitless supply of Him, His authority (over everything by the way), and a limitless supply of His power.

So, you know what that means don’t you?

That’s right.

All we have to do is Get Up Stand Up. Stand up for your right. You are a rightful, Joint-Heir to the throne. Jesus is your brother.

Our job now is, you guessed it, don’t give up the fight.

When we operate out of a sense of Adoption, knowing that we belong, that we have a place in the Kingdom, now we will approach situations differently.

If I walk into a room while I am thinking that the people here are making fun of me, I may not have a good visit.

But if I walk into a room and believe that I can bring them something they may not have, joy. If I can bring Kingdom joy to the people in this room, things will turn out much differently.

You see that is the difference of letting your life be an expression of who you are.

That is Living the Freedom Life.

If you are tired of the hot summer sun scorching you and burning up everything that once was alive, use this weekend, Labor Day weekend to celebrate the end of that season.

Get Up, and Stand Up. Because there is greatness inside of you and anything that stands in the way of that coming out, you have the authority inside of you to move it. Even if it IS a mountain.

If you want to know more on how to start doing that, let us know. That’s what we are here for.

We will see you soon, Living the Freedom Life, this is Kyle

Internal Unity

Podcast: Play in new window | Download (Duration: 7:54 — 9.3MB)

This week, we’re wrapping up our 4 Core Concepts that we take in our approach to Kyle McMurray Coaching. We’ve talked about You Are Unique, Unlocking You and last week we talked about Unmasking the Lies. Well today, I want to tell you about the fourth Core Concept where it all comes together. You’re listening to Living the Freedom Life, this is episode 111 and today we are discussing Internal Unity.

A lot of times when I bring this topic up in a session, I’ll have a client say “Oh, yeah, youre talking about integrity.” My response to that goes something like this. Integrity is “the quality of being honest and having strong moral principles.” Even though that is an important quality to have, that’s not what we are talking about today. Internal Unity is something very different and more powerful than most people realize.

Have you ever “been in the zone” where everything just falls into place? I know, they seem to not come often, but when you have one of those moments, it really is breathtaking.

It’s kind of like when you listen to a really great piece of music and the musicians are in the groove, playing in the pocket, you know, the thing that makes your head bob up and down. It speaks to you in places that are deep. Some may say that they can “feel it in their bones”.

Another example is when you are good at something, in a non arrogant way, but you know you are doing it well and things are just clicking. You are “in the flow”. Yeah, we are here to talk about that. That’s Internal Unity.

You see, let me explain what it means to have Internal Unity.

We are triune beings. In other words, there are three parts to us. No matter how you believe, gnostic, agnostic, atheists, pragmatic, diplomatic, it doesn’t matter. This has been proven time and time again by all types of studies.

Psychology Today published several articles on this topic

Columbia and Yale have scientifically found the place in the brain where we process the information of the spiritual realms

Anthropologists even publish their articles saying that we have a soul.

And if you want to go completely to “the World” to get your advice, Forbes says that being “in the flow” or having Internal Unity is making quite the comeback.

The Huffington Post claims to have found a scientific answer to whether we have a soul.

I have links in the show notes on all of these if you want to see them.

SO, I’ll say again, we are triune beings. This is fundamental to our worldview.

We have a Spirit, a Soul and obviously, a body.

I think most of us have attended 7th grade biology class enough to know the basics of the human body. Categories of systems: There are about 16 different systems that make up the functionality of your body. Now that’s just the biology part.

Our soul consists of the mind, will and emotions. There are several parts to it as well. Maybe we can discuss that in a later episode.

Lastly (but certainly not least), is our Spirit. Now, I know for some, this may be a touchy subject for you. That’s okay. Because deep down, this is just me and you talking here, deep down in the most darkest part of you, you know, the part where you get let down, your hurt, you don’t trust because you’ve been hurt so many times, the part of you that gets angry about God being so good. Yeah…that part right there. Even THAT part of you, knows that there is a God. Even if you feel like He is distant, somewhere overlooking your life, there is a part of ALL of us (yes, even Atheists believe in God, it’s just anger, misdirected) ALL of us know, deep down that we have a spirit.

Now, the reason I bring all of this up to you is because when ALL OF THOSE PARTS OF YOU are in the proper firing order, things just click. Everything just falls into place. In that moment, it just seems like the world is quiet and it’s like breathing. THAT is complete Internal Unity.

Whaaaaaat?!?! Yeah, that is what we help people with. But, as we explain on our website, our 4th Coaching Concept requires willingness. If someone isn’t willing to take those steps toward Internal Unity, again, “How’s that been working for you?”.

See, some people experience that for a brief moment and then spend a huge amount of energy chasing after it. Unfortunately, that’s not how it happened in the first place.

Your life doesn’t get better by chance, it gets better by change.

When we feel the tug of something more, we have to be willing to deconstruct the habits we currently have. They turn into rituals and no longer serve us in our future capacity.

Unmask the Lies

Podcast: Play in new window | Download (Duration: 8:53 — 10.6MB)

We are talking about our 4 Core Concepts that we take in our approach to Coaching. Two weeks ago, we talked about You Are Unique, last week we discussed the importance of Unlocking You. And this week, I want to tell you about the third Core Concept we have at Kyle McMurray Coaching. You’re listening to Living the Freedom Life podcast, this is episode 110 and today we are Unmasking the Lies.

Have you ever believed a lie? Well, let me ask you a more specific question in a different way. Have you ever been told a lie? I’m not talking about when someone blatantly tells you something that you know is not true.

Unlocking You

Podcast: Play in new window | Download (Duration: 7:40 — 9.2MB)

We began a series on our podcast last week, discussing our 4 Core Concepts that we take in our approach to Coaching. You can see them on our website KyleMcMurray.com. I’ll have a link in the show notes for you so you can see them. We want to share our second concept with you because this concept is well known but rarely activated. Because it takes someone outside of yourself to activate it. That’s just the way the Brain works. Let’s get started on today’s episode of Living the Freedom Life podcast, we’re on episode #109 and today we are discovering the importance of Unlocking You.

Whenever we think of our ideal life, what our picture perfect house would be, and that we would go each day to the perfect job, and have an uber successful career.

We have those things in mind and we want to take steps to get there, but most people don’t know how to get there. All of us have ideals in our mind of what we want our lives to look like, but few have the vision to get there. Few have the answers, few people have a clear path of how to get what they want in life. This is where we come in. Everyone needs a Coach. Well, if you are happy with the same patterns in your life, then, I guess, no. Not everyone wants a Coach, and I’m okay with that. But in order to grow, in order to have real and permanent change, everyone needs a Coach.

Here is how our second Concept to Coaching reads:

“The reason we can’t move forward as we hope or aspire to, is in our subconscious. It’s not knowledge based, it is belief based. We have time tested methods to unlock what is standing in your way.”

There always seems to be hurdles in the way to a better you. There’s this glass ceiling that keeps most people from going to that new level in life.

Most people hear this and usually think one of three things:

“Well, I can do this myself.” Okay. To steal a quote from Dr. Phil, “How’s that been working for you?” All of us have blind spots and it’s pretty arrogant and, well, blind for us to think we don’t.

“I can just google it.” If you are able to find what you need, does it fit you? Will you interpret the truth in areas where you need it? We often treat Google like a file system. We access the info when we think we need it instead of learning about it.

“I have a good circle of friends, they keep me in check.” There are very few people who have friends that will be truthful, I mean truthful, really. Most people will let being nice overrule the need to be honest in areas where they believe you will be offended. They may try to sugar coat it and you will either ignore the comment, not get the hint, or rule it as them being snarky and it’s their problem. Even at high levels of friends circles, most people let the friendship rule over truth. We read in the Bible where we are to “speak truth in love” and let love take the unhealthy dose and overpower truth. That’s a dangerous cloak.

So, we take those main excuses and go about our day, unchecked and unchanged.

We let the daily mundane erode the tools it takes for change.

Until finally, some people just settle in life. Eeking out a living with their job, having the same patterns in an everyday routine that is numbing them, into submission of a life that is flatlined.

God doesn’t want you to settle. When He created you, He didn’t have mediocrity in mind. He wants you to thrive. But those pesky hurdles. . .

We have found, not only through our training, but through years of experience that the key to all of this, every bit of it, lies within you. You may think you don’t have the answers, but they are available to you.

We help you unlock them. We help you, Unlock You.

There are limiting beliefs that have a way of stopping us, keeping us from reaching our potential.

Did you realise that you have limiting beliefs that actually sabotage you from the very things that you dream of. There may be some things in your life that skews or distorts or bends the way you interpret the world around you. That can have a very limiting hold on your life. It can keep you from moving forward and disguise itself so well that most people can’t recognize it.

We have to discover what is holding you back. And it may be something as simple as getting you a pair of glasses, so to speak. So that you can see things differently.

When we see things differently and in this case clearly, we can see through those hurdles and make different decisions. Different decisions turn into different outcomes. And that’s what we really want is a different outcome. Deep down, we know that we are meant for more than what is currently in our life right now. The answer is NOT just to try harder. That’s not the answer. When we just buckle down and try harder, we’ll get tired, forget, not have time, or get distracted.

When we are able to see things differently, then making different choices, are a no brainer.

Let me read our second Concept of Coaching again:

We are out of time today, but I want you to know

You are stronger than you feel, you are smarter than you know, and you are gifted more than what you’ve experienced.

We are here to awaken those.

The most important step in any journey is your next one. We want to help.

Until next time, Living the Freedom Life, This is Kyle

You Are Unique

Podcast: Play in new window | Download (Duration: 8:31 — 11.5MB)

Episode 108

When you visit us on KyleMcMurray.com and look on our Coaching page, you will see our 4 concepts that we take in our approach to Coaching. We want to share those with you for the next 4 weeks as we discuss the importance and meaning behind each of them. I think there is a lot that we can apply to everyday life from each of these. So let’s get started. You’re listening to Living the freedom Life podcast, this is episode #108 and today we are discussing that You Are Unique.

I think that you will enjoy this 4 week series. The reason I say that is that I find myself talking about these 4 concepts of Coaching in our sessions. Our 1st concept to our approach to Coaching is that You are Unique. Here is the legal statement that we labored over and came up with. It says quite a lot more than just “You are Unique”. Let me read it to you:

“We believe that God creates each person unique. One of our main concepts is to call that greatness out of you, into the world. That is a process (a series of events to produce a result), but not a rigid formula.”

We want to be unique, we want to stand out, but on the other side of that, we still want to fit in, we want to belong to a tribe, a herd. Which one is it? While we try to reconcile that, we begin to compare ourselves to others and our lives to the people around us.

I know, it sounds a lot like covetousness. That’s one that made it to the top ten list in Exodus 20.

I want what that person has, or I wish I could live that way. I would like to be more like that person.

Comparing can turn to be a bad thing pretty quickly. Comparing ourselves with other people, keeping up with the Jones’ can be a rat race that can’t be won.

Now I’m not sure about you, but when we have a relationship with The Lord, we are to compare ourselves to no one, except that we are supposed to compare ourselves to Jesus. Well, His life.

We are joint heirs to the Throne. Jesus is my brother.

Jesus was perfect. He lived a perfect life.

Our logic says that we can never measure up to Him.

God doesn’t want that. We were not made to be defeated.

Because Jesus died the death we should die, but He because He died in our place, he gives us His life to live. That is the exchange on the cross.

He gives us

Holy Spirit is here to help us live life.

We ARE to compare ourselves to Jesus’ life.

To keep us humble in our humanity- He is fully God (deity)
To see His struggle in Humanity- Jesus was fully human (the bible says He was tempted in all things so we know we are not alone)
To see His victory in submitting- Jesus showed time and time again that He was submitted to the Father and that provides a direct connection.
To keep us communicating to Him- Helps us process the world around us and align it to the truth.
To see His power in choosing- We always have a choice. There is great power in that.
To keep us connected to Him- We have access to His power at any time
To see His perfection in Deity- We don’t have to rely on our power to do things right,
To keep us crucified with Him- Reminding us that it is more about the relationship in the daily struggle than it is about a “one time” decision. It is about a lifestyle.

Kind of like Living the Freedom Life.

Now I want to read our Concept #1 to you again through the lens of what we just discussed.:

See, whether you have accepted this or not, whether you are okay with it or not, you are created as the Bible says, “After God’s own image”.

Now, I’m not claiming to know what He looks like but, You have a head on top of your shoulders and two arms, one nose. You have no say so in how you were created.

If you wanted two noses, I guess there is some fake way to fabricate that, but you weren’t created that way.

He gave you certain gifts, specific talents, and a set of skills that only you have.

“It is more powerful to be you, because everyone else is already taken.”

We are here to call that greatness out of you.

We help you hone that set of skills towards areas that will help you achieve your goals in life.

We help you discover your specific talents, help you plan a platform for that talent to grow.

We help you unleash those certain gifts that God gave you to benefit His Kingdom, to help and serve others that need what only you can communicate.

And in short, the last part of our first Concept of Coaching says that there is a process to uncovering all of this. A process is a series of events to produce a result. A formula is a rigid approach to solve a problem.

We have found that a lot of Coaches take this cookie cutter formula approach.

We are not here to try to stamp you into something that just isn’t you.

We believe that each person’s journey is as unique as our approach to call your greatness out, bring it forward in your life, and introduce it to the world in your own unique way.

That takes a unique approach.

Which will provide unique results.

So that you can live your unique life.

So that you can Live the Freedom Life.

We are out of time but we would love to hear from you. Reach out to us through social media, our website, any way that we can help, that is what we are here to do.

Until next week, remember, “If you are always trying to be normal, you will never know how amazing you can be.”

Living the Freedom Life, this is Kyle.
