Reconciling with Your French Roots
Many nations have contributed to the ethnic and spiritual makeup of America. Some came despising their nation of origin, and never looking back. Others retain deep emotional ties to the land and culture of their origin.
Some individuals have worked long and hard to cleanse themselves from the defilement of their home land or to reconnect with the treasures of their culture of origin.
Daniele has a deep passion for the treasures of the French streams of the faith, and a keen awareness of some of the wounds that need to be addressed.
While the dynamics of French heritage is not a common theme in the public square today, it is still a treasure that God keeps track of in those family lines.
And if it matters to God, it should matter to us.
Participant Testimonies
“The journey of reconciling with my French roots began many years ago and Danièle has walked through much of it with me. I began by forgiving the nation for the persecution of the Huguenots, who were my ancestors. Danièle crafted blessings for my spirit that brought together her earned authority and passion for reconciliation, and they landed very deeply. But she took it a step further and prayed for full release of the treasures that God had placed within my family line. My spirit just leapt with joy every time we got together to pray. Often times I could feel or see myself in different periods of history, and I know that her prayers were weaving together the broken threads of my generational heritage. Recently, I had a special celebration to mark my full emotional and spiritual connection to my French roots. Not only was she a part of it, she played a significant role in getting me there! I know that accessing this facet of my generational treasures is crucial to walking in my design, and I owe Danièle a huge debt of gratitude.”

"For the better part of two years, perhaps more, my spirit was largely shut down. With rare exception, I could not bear to read or even listen to blessings or any sort of communication towards my spirit. It felt like pain to me.
A friend suggested that I contact Danièle to speak to my spirit in French. She has tremendous authority in blessing, but I was too shut down to ask. I found one of her courses in the Sapphire Leadership Group Training Center that I very much wanted to take, so I signed up. During the course, in a private phone call, Danièle spoke to my spirit in French. There was no hesitation from my spirit- none - no resistance whatsoever. I was astounded but even better, her blessing landed!
After such a response from my spirit, she offered to meet with me again, on Skype and we recorded her blessing my spirit. In addition, she sent me a copy of blessings she recorded a number of years ago. I listen to them repeatedly and my spirit responds every time. Because the blessings are in French, my soul does not put up a fight and now my spirit drinks deeply from this well.
Over the course of a few weeks, it was obvious that resurrection life was working in me. My family sees it. My friends and co-workers notice that something is different and the change is good!
I find that I have been able to walk in a level of forgiveness that is quite deep and my thoughts are considerably less self-critical. My 'normal' instabilities are becoming more solid and at times when I would typically destabalize, I'm finding myself at peace. I am so encouraged for the changes I discover that God is doing every day. I am not sure that I could adequately describe what has been happening in me since we began this journey.
