- Well my story with God.......
I am born christian from punjab (india). My grandpapa was priest. In the age of 8 me and my elder brother sushil went to boarding at Tyndle bisco School, Srinagar. we were very small to understand bible and God. We go to church every sunday (with half hearted). In 1992 we went to another hostel at palampur. There were many christian students. i had a girl friend there named Sheeba Shaw. But she left palampur and went to Delhi without informing me. Everyday, morning and evening we used to have prayer in the hostel. I gained a good knowldege on the bible but not about the faith developing. the years passed. Then i came to allahabad in 2006. after one year, i got her number from someone and we started talking on phone. Slowly slowly we started loving each other again. She was already in walk with God. She is very good in that. She always discussed with me to accept the Jesus as personal saviour. But i did'nt care. After some month one day i read a magizine of her organziation called youth touch. the first page of the Magizine was about prayers, it touches me so much that without break i read out 3 magizines. Then i realize the need of the Lord Jesus. Then i started searching for more and more information and links which can bring me more closer to Him. I found my prayer are answering, what ever i asked i got. But then after3 to 4 month i returned back to the same position, i found my faith is trembling. but i never leave Him. I always used to pray and read bible. Then again after tempetations i m again here in the palm of my Saviour and lord Jesus. I love Him very much. He always protects me and with me. - Other stuff about me:
- i m good artist (Painting), i write poems... now i m writting songs for God praise.

First and most important, The Holy Spirit has taken up residence in your body. He is able to read your mind better than you yourself can.
He knows whether you mean it when you pray and ask for assistance to give up certain vices. He knows whether you really want to stop or just playing mind games.
Depending on the above you will either receive help from Him or not.
Let me ask a question. What would you do if someone tried to push you off a 20 Storey building. I am sure you would fight back with tooth and nail, spitting and kicking to get away.
Why would you fight like this? Well it's obvious.
YOU DON'T WANT TO BE THROWN OFF THE BUILDING.
You see Michael when you REALLY WANT to stop old habits, then there is nothing on this earth to make you want to continue. Why? Because you REALLY WANT to stop and DON'T WANT TO CONTINUE.
Now the Holy Spirit knows exactly where you stand when you pray: "Lord help me to stop this vice." He knows whether you really want to stop or not.
Determination to stop means, I stop immediately and don't allow weak excuses like: "Well I want to stop, but I can't".
The Holy Spirit picks this up and you are not going to get His assistance.
"Well" you ask, "why does He not MAKE me stop?"
The Holy Spirit never intrudes on your free will.
He has already given you the desire to stop, but He will never make you do something that you really don't want to do.
Think about it. If the Holy Spirit was free to go against man's will, He could then go against EVERYONES will and make them ALL Christians even though they didn't want to.
So Michael, WHERE DO YOU STAND?
Do you REALLY WANT to stop? DO YOU?
If You really do, then Michael, give or throw your cigarettes away. Tell all your friends and family, everyone you know that you have stopped smoking and Drinking. You see Actions speak louder than words. Then ask the Holy Spirit to help you keep to your convictions and He will.
"For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation." Rom 10:10
I Trust that this will help you. Please feel free to come back to me if you need further assistance or simply to report back on your progress.
Your Borther and friend in Christ.

Well Michael on your own admmission, you say that you REALLY WANT to stop. Well then let me ask you another question: "WHAT'S STOPPING YOU? It's as I said: "One cannot say I REALLY WANT TO STOP, BUT I CAN'T." You have to make the first move, God will make the second move if you are really, really serious.
Remember when Jesus saw Michael Daniel's face, He did not say: "I WANT to die for Michael too Father, but I can't."
He meant business when He said to the Father: "I WANT to pay for the sins of Michael, nothing can stop me, because I love Michael."
Jesus was steadfast in His resolve and knowing the pain and agony He would suffer, even the humiliation of being slapped in the face and his beard torn from His cheeks, He still went ahead so that He could close the gates of Hell on your behalf. If Jesus did this for you Michael, Is it so hard for you to give up that which is holding you back from a free conscience in your Christian walk?

Thank you for your question. Personally, I have no specific idea of what you should do in this situation because I do not know enough about your culture and how these situations are typically handled in your country.
Basically, I see your friend having three choices: 1) submit to the new leadership and follow their directions up as long as they are not commanding him to do something sinful, 2) quit now and look for another teaching position, or 3) follow the principles in Matthew 18:15-17 by showing the principal his sinful behavior (if it really is sinful), taking other witnesses with him and if he refuses to listen then to tell it to the Bishop.
He should not threaten the principal by saying he is going to the Bishop. If it were me, I would not reveal the existence of the recording of the conversation.
Your friend should be prepared to lose his job or suffer other consequences if the principal refuses to listen since it appears the principal had no intention of listening. Your friend should absolutely be sure the behavior of the principal is truly sinful and not just a difference of opinion because your friend will certainly suffer for exposing this. He has to be convinced that it is worth the price he and his family will pay.

God is calling all of us to A ministry. He gave some teachers and some evangelists etcetera. You have lots of opportunity in India. There are some marvelous things happening over there. Leaders will be necessary. I say follow where God leads!
