Christian author and speaker Joyce Meyer also used the new year as an opportunity to share what she believes God can do for others in 2019.

“God created us to need new beginnings — places where we can release our faith and say, ‘This is a place of new beginnings for me, a place to have a fresh start.’ The dawn of a new year is always a good time for a fresh start,” Meyer wrote on Facebook.

The popular televangelist wanted people to know that they can experience the “abundant life” talked about by Jesus in the Bible. However, she insisted that it has to go hand in hand with the decision to “let go of the past.”

“Unless you refuse to go on the way you have been, no change will come. God wants to change things for you, but He is waiting for your total cooperation,” Meyer said.

“So if you want to experience God's ‘new thing’ this year, release your faith right now and say, ‘This is a place of new beginnings for me.’ Then watch for the results,” she added.
