Rebellion-Part 2: Warnings

Picture
When we rebel against the Lord we lose His protection, He turns His back on us when we rebel by not obeying His laws. Rebellion vexes (annoy's, frustrates, and causes distress) to the Lord's Holy Spirit. When we persist in disobedience to God's commandments and laws, it angers God which causes bad things to happen in our lives. Many people do not follow God's laws because they have been taught false teachings and doctrines by people they trusted. Some of which may have not known the truth themselves. When we reject God's commandments we are interfering with His will and when this happens He will deliver you to your enemies. Satan is our enemy always pacing, seeking, and waiting to devour you. Ignoring God's laws will not make them go away, nor will it make the punishment for disobedience go away. We can get protection against our enemies, and the main one, Satan, protection from the punishment from disobedience by asking for forgiveness in the name of Jesus Christ,  following His laws and commandments (being obedient), and by putting on the armor of God.

How to stop rebelling against god

Only the Lord can forgive us for Rebellion
To the Lord our God belong mercies and forgivenesses, though we have rebelled against him; Dan. 9:9
God is always ready to forgive, slow to anger and very kind
And refused to obey, neither were mindful of thy wonders that thou didst among them; but hardened their necks, and in their rebellion appointed a captain to return to their bondage: but thou art a God ready to pardon, gracious and merciful, slow to anger, and of great kindness, and forsookest them not. Neh 9:17
In order to stop rebelling against God we must ask for His forgiveness, learn His ways, His laws, His commandments, and do them. Worship Him and only Him, do not deny Him or turn your back on Him. When you rebel against God you are showing contempt for His word, His will, His laws. Contempt for God grieves the Holy Spirit and borders on committing the unpardonable sin. Study, pray, every day. Do not be deceived. God made laws and commandments for valid reasons. Without God's laws the world is in chaos, just as it is today. Let us not rebel against His word, Amen.
