Rebellion is knowing what God wants you to do and deliberately choosing to do what you want to do because it it is more fun, more profitable or more exciting. Even thinking that , I will do what I want and turn to God later. What if I would have been called to give and account for my life at that point? Rebellion is like witchcraft because you are choosing to put yourself above God and make your own decisions about your life and future. You are placing yourself up as god of your life. Thou shall have no other god's before Me. Rebellion causes arrogance because you seek what is best for yourself and you place yourself above anything else. You consider yourself to be wise and know what is best for you, better than anyone else. You fall into Pride and Hard hardheartedness. Pride come before the fall and hardheartedness makes you blind. If you find rebellion against God in your heart you need to confess your sins (the sins that led you to rebellion and that you did while you were in rebellion) then repent, turn from your rebellion, and beg God to have Mercy on you and ask him to cancel the debt that was created against you by the enemy. If you confess your sins He is faithful and just to forgive you of your sins. Don't broad brush your sins, Jesus died for each sin you committed. Ask Him to cleanse you from all of them, each one you can remember bring it to the Cross. Sins like; lying, pride, hard heart, anger, bitterness, unfaithfulness, selfishness, Idolatry, blindness, willfully sinning, gossip, slander, sexual immorality, drugs, giving up and filling your heart with the enjoyment of sinning, foolishness, blaming God for your life not being great, just wanting to have a little fun and not wanting to have anyone tell you what to do, and anything that you did that flew in the face of God and what Jesus die for on the cross. If you don't change, your sins will increase the hardness of your heart and your conscience will become more seared and then your pride will blind you from repentance.
