2 Samuel 5 v6>
6David and his men immediately set out for Jerusalem to take on the Jebusites, who lived in that country. But they said, "You might as well go home! Even the blind and the lame could keep you out. You can't get in here!" They had convinced themselves that David couldn't break through.
7But David went right ahead and captured the fortress of Zion, known ever since as the City of David. 8That day David said, "To get the best of these Jebusites, one must target the water system, not to mention this so-called lame and blind bunch that David hates." (In fact, he was so sick and tired of it, people coined the expression, "No lame and blind allowed in the palace.")
This was preached last night in a service I was in last night about finding the weakness in the fortresses we face(the watersystem), to see everyone in the cube understand God's passionate love for them and respond in praise, is definately up there with taking on a walled city in the hard to do stakes, and anyone you suggest it to might well laugh in your face. but like the watersystem that gave David victory over that city there is a weakness in prevailing culture in cube and if we ask God He will show us the way in...

good shout. an enemy fortress as strong as the cube would be hard to overcome by a frontal assault, so to speak.
it strikes me that the way to take a city in biblical times was to send spies to seek out the weaknesses and then take your army in to exploit it.
reckon the next few times we go in, maybe we should assume the role of spies (nothing dodgy obv.) and be keeping our eyes peeled for weaknesses in the spiritual stronghold there.
