Delusion
To hear the word of God
And not do it.
That's right. For:
James 1:22 . . . be ye doers of the word, and not hearers only, deceiving your own selves.
Luke 6:46 . . . why call ye me, Lord, Lord, and do not the things which I say?

This begins and ends delusion.
Disobedience is one kind of delusion. But it's not the future, Antichrist delusion which will, for example, convince the world that Christ isn't in the flesh:
2 John 1:7 ¶For many deceivers are entered into the world, who confess not that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh. This is a deceiver and an antichrist.

Think not to yourself..I understand end times ..I am knowledgable I'm a good Christian.
That's right, in that neither knowledge of eschatology nor knowledge generally can, in themselves, make someone a good Christian.
But they can help a Christian to keep the faith during the future Tribulation, and not be deceived:
Mark 13:22 For false Christs and false prophets shall rise, and shall shew signs and wonders, to seduce, if it were possible, even the elect.
23 But take ye heed: behold, I have foretold you all things.
Mark 13:5 . . . Take heed lest any man deceive you . . .
That is, the main reason the Bible gives clear warning ahead of time about everything Christians alive at the time of the future Tribulation will have to face (Mark 13:23, Revelation chapters 6 to 18, Revelation 1:1, Revelation 22:16), before Jesus Christ returns immediately after the Tribulation (Matthew 24:29-31, Revelation 19:7 to 20:6), is so Christians can be better prepared mentally not to be blindsided (1 Peter 4:12-13) or deceived by anything that's coming (Matthew 24:4-5,23-25, Revelation 13:13-18, Revelation 19:20), and so they can be better prepared mentally to endure the future Tribulation with patience and faith to the end (Matthew 24:9-13, Revelation 13:7-10, Revelation 14:12-13, Revelation 20:4-6), and not commit apostasy during the Tribulation (Isaiah 8:21-22, Matthew 24:9-13, Matthew 13:21), to the ultimate loss of their salvation (Hebrews 6:4-8, John 15:6; 2 Timothy 2:12).
