We count the Omer for the sake of investigating the inner motives and desires of our emotions.

Some times your emotions can deceive you in thinking and lusting after the things that you really do not need, and through this act you begin to reject, to resent, to ignore, to condemn and abuse the things and the relationships that you really need.

Through this period of Omer counting ,being the 50 days that begins from Passover that falls in April or May and finishes on the day of Pentecost,

which falls in the month of June or July, we investigate, and we also relate our emotions to the relationships and godly activities that will benefit our character in a positive way.

Your soul is made up of seven emotions, and these emotions are like children in nature, they can be misled or deceived by an environment that contains an influence of negative behaviors or they can also be structured by an environment of positive influence.

You should remember that through this season of Omer counting according to biblical history, this is when Judas betrayed Jesus; this is when Peter denied His master Jesus,

but also this when the children of Israel were complaining against Moses and crying unto him because of the an controllable lust and desires of wanting to eat meat and return to Egypt, as in Exodus 16:1-12.

So for you to be able to overcome this negative influence that comes in this season, you must involve your emotions into the Omer counting.

The Omer counting is a spiritual method as stated in Leviticus 23:15-17 , that helps you to connect your emotions to God’s will, and also be able to eliminate the negative behaviors that may hinder you from relating with the relationships that God wants to you fellowship with.
