2 Samuel 5:6 · World English Bible
The king and his men went to Jerusalem against the Jebusites, the inhabitants of the land, who spoke to David, saying, “The blind and the lame will keep you out of here;” thinking, “David can’t come in here.”
Jerusalem is the inner city of God, and David is the fulfilled self rising up within a person to claim it. The Jebusites who already hold the land are the settled convictions of the senses, the beliefs that insist things cannot change.

MANIFESTATION
Jerusalem is the inner city of God, and David is the fulfilled self rising up within a person to claim it. The Jebusites who already hold the land are the settled convictions of the senses, the beliefs that insist things cannot change. Their taunt, that the blind and the lame will keep David out, is the old certainty that what you cannot see and cannot yet act upon has no power to enter.
The blind and the lame are that unbelief: eyes that see no evidence and limbs too weak to move toward the wish. They must be taken away, which is to say the assumption of impossibility is set aside before the city opens. David enters not by force against the walls but by the inner shaft, the quiet climb from outer fact up into imagined fulfillment. The fulfilled state is reached from within, never stormed from without.
Manifestation lens
What have I decided is impossible without ever checking?
The gate has no gate. What keeps you standing outside is the certainty that there is a wall.
What a person holds in steady faith, that is what they become. The settled belief decides the outcome before anything moves.
We suffer more in imagination than in fact, and most of our walls were built there. Take down the imagined one and the way is open.
