INTRODUCTION

To bleed means that you are going through challenges and pain. The joy of the enemy is to see you bleed emotionally, financially and health wise, just like the woman in the bible who bled for years. Do you find it difficult to move on from the issue of the past?This means that you are bleeding and if you wish to have the bleeding stopped, then you need Jesus to step into your situation to turn around your frustration into celebration.
