By clinging to the promises in 2 Peter 1:2-4, we are able to escape the corruption of this world. We accomplishing this by clinging to these promises and siphoning the oil from these verses. We are then escaping the corruption of this world and being transformed into the newness of life.
Don’t hold onto your past. Don’t hold onto your feelings. Stop holding onto your thoughts. Instead, hold onto the promises of God.

You enter through the blood and through faith. Every time I go into the presence of God, I am not worried about if I feel or do not feel anything. I am not moved by what I feel; I am moved by the one in whom I believe.
As I enter through the door of the blood of Christ, I enter into His presence because I see it. Because I believe it.

The world says I must see it to believe it. Jesus says, “Believe it in faith, and you shall see” (see John 11:40). You are waiting for a feeling when you should be entering by faith. Then you shall feel, and then you will see. Faith is the doorway to what you are seeking.
The immature believer says, “I don’t feel; therefore, it’s not real, God has left me” and so on. These are distracting lies to keep you from His presence.
The mature believer says, “I am not moved by what I feel. I believe in faith, and because I draw near, I begin to see Him, because faith is the door and the way is the blood.”
