First off, this is a serious thread and I'm not attempting to offend anyone with this topic. Please take the thread seriously and if it peeks your curiosity, please indulge me.
Now when most people think about God, they will inevitably consider both Heaven and Hell. They will often visualize God residing over Heaven and gazing down upon the world. They might also see the Devil or Satan ruling over Hell and looking up at the world. Now any scientist out there will tell you that there is no such thing as the existence of a 'Hell' inside of the Earth nor is there a 'Heaven' in the clouds above our planet. However, this fact does not dissuade believers from continuing to believe. Even knowing this, they will simply conclude that Heaven and Hell exist elsewhere, perhaps another plane of existence that we cannot directly interact with while we are alive. Of course, this would mean that they believe God also resides in this separate plane of existence. Now, where is this separate existence? Is it somewhere else in our Universe? Is it in our own minds? Or perhaps, its actually a different dimension that we are now talking about.

I hope some people found this intriguing and I thank you for reading as always. This topic is obviously highly controversial and if you have your own thoughts on additional dimensions and how it can or cannot possibly relate to God, I'd love to discuss them. Obviously I tried to imply everything I stated is mere conjecture. I'm simply asserting that such a possibility could exist, not that what I'm talking about is fact. Again, thanks for reading.

Talk regarding dimensions:
Getting into the topic of dimensions, we obviously live in the third dimension. Now imagine a being that resides exclusively inside the second dimension. Would they be able to interact with us? No, they wouldn't. Would they be able to contemplate a third dimension? Perhaps not. This challenge extends to us when we try to imagine the fourth dimension. Can you visualize it? If you couldn't, and decided to ask a researcher what they thought about the 4th dimension, they'd likely tell you it has to do with time. Time travel is most likely the next dimension above our own. But how can time be the 4th dimension?
To answer that, you'll first need to visualize how time exists within our world. When you think about time, what comes to mind? Well you'd say there is a present, a past, and of course a future; but that is the entire extent of it. There is no other way to imagine time as we know it. Now, what would you consider this reality of time to be? The answer is time can be described as one dimensional. Think of the word timeline. As the word implies, a timeline can showcase all time that ever existed in our universe in a single line. So the most simple way to think of the 4th dimension is our 3 dimensional world plus 1 dimension of time where 3 + 1 = 4. Of course, time is shared everywhere in our universe, so that one dimension is spread over 3 dimensions of space.

How this could relate to God:
You might be saying, "Wait a moment, how can our dimension plus time be the 4th dimension and how does this relate to God?" First, you need to consider how a master of the 3rd dimension would appear to be. Imagine us with full capability of accessing all corners of the 3rd dimension. Imagine us with wormhole capability where we could be anywhere in the universe in a moments notice. Now extend that to the 4th dimension. A master of the 4th dimension would, therefore, be able to access any corner of our universe in an instant, but also be able to exist in that space at any possible time along our timeline. For all intents and purposes, they could be anywhere at any given time in history, whenever they want. At that point, you might consider such an individual to be all knowing, all seeing and, perhaps, even all powerful. This is indeed one way to consider the existence of God. God could, quite simply, be a being that is the master of 4 dimensions and can therefore see and experience everything that has or will ever be, and do so at will.
Now if God is a master of the 4th dimension, and can be anywhere he wants at any given time, would we even be able to interact with him? Likely not, as interacting with a 4th dimensional being would be similar to a two dimensional being trying to interact with us, it would simply be impossible. This is essentially all there is to the idea, that one way to contemplate the existence of God is to consider the possibility of a 4th dimension and consider the idea of him residing exclusively in that dimension. Using this line of thought, we easily transition into the idea of a 5th and 6th dimension. This won't shed any additional light on how I think it might relate to this possible visualization of God, but if you're curious, please read on.

Additional stuff about dimensions:
Now assuming the 4th dimension is the third dimension + one dimension of time, the 5th dimension would simply be our 3rd dimension + a second dimension of time, or a plane of time. Likewise, the 6th dimension would be our 3rd dimension + 3 dimensional time. Now you're likely saying, "Two and three dimensional time? Now you're talking crazy!", but it could very well be true. A second dimension of time would simply describe a group of timelines sharing the same plane. The number of timelines in this plane would be infinite and could perhaps cross our own timeline, sharing one similar event between them. They could even, perhaps, share nothing at all with our timeline. To get into the realm of 3 dimensional time, you'd simply have to stray ever so slightly out of this plane of timelines, and enter a new plane. Three dimensional time, by definition, would imply an infinite number of timelines where everything has either happened, or will eventually happen.
Therefore, a master of the 5th dimension would not only be able to be anywhere in our universe at any given time in an instant, but also reside within any reality that shares a timeline within the same time plane. A master of the sixth dimension would have this capability, plus an equal capability to do the same within any timeline that resides in any of the infinite number of time planes that could possibly exist. Crazy I know, but it could be possible.
If you made it all the way through, I commend your diligence
