If you can imagine it - I'm bigger than that. Anytime you take a concept, that you as a 4-D person can put God in; and you say: “God has to live in here”, all you're doing is cheapening your life. You're going against the very nature that God made us to be.
Let me give you a common, and currently very relevant, example. Do you guys know, that the style now, is for men to wear women's jeans? Have you seen this? You guys are wearing them now – unbelievable! No, no, they're cool, they're very cool. That's what's supposed to be happening. What they do now is: they cut men's jeans, so that they would fit women's legs - and they're called skinny-jeans, right? I was given a lesson on this, I was doing the conference at the Dream Centre - huge, huge thing - and the whole band was wearing these jeans. In one of the breaks they said: Shane, in order to be cool man, you got to get you some skinny jeans! And I said: do I look skinny to you? They said: no, no, no, that's cool man. You can't be cool, unless you're wearing skinny jeans.
I said: but they look very uncomfortable! Like: highly, highly, uncomfortable. They said: oh they're very uncomfortable - but they're very cool! They're very cool, and so you have to get these. You have to go get some skinny jeans.
They said: as a matter of fact, we'll “sow them into your life” - we'll pay for them! So they took me to this shop in the Gold Coast called Diesel, which is like the skinny-jean capital of the world. So we walked in, and these jeans were $550 Australian dollars - wow! Whoa! $550, so I walked in, and I said: listen, they're going to buy them for me, but I want the most ‘unskinny’ skinny jeans you have. I want the skinny jeans for fat guys alright - that's what I want.
So we walked in, and so they got me the fattest skinny-jeans that they could get, and they got me a shirt to go with it, and I went into the dressing room to change. I squeezed my big rear-end into them, and just really trying to get my legs up in them; and once it got to my waist it was fine - I mean they fit my waist. It was cut fine at the waist. It's just the way they cut the legs, and everything else... so you squeeze, squeeze yourself into these jeans.
I held my breath. I could hardly breathe, and I buttoned them up, and then put the shirt on, and I walked out, and the girl that was working at the Diesel shop that was putting it all together, I walked out and she went... (shakes her head). And so I agreed with her. I went back, and I was peeling myself back out of these jeans, and... You know when you have a moment, when you look at yourself in the mirror - and I started to have a moment of feeling sorry for myself. The thought hit me: you're getting old! You can't wear cool jeans, you're just getting old. You're just really, really, really getting old - and so I'm putting my other jeans back on; and I realised - it hit me!
I looked at myself in the mirror, and I said: you're not getting old. Men were designed by God, to have room in the front of their pants! To go against the basic grain of that... is asking for trouble! You just are; and I would say to you guys: bless you guys. How you're sitting with one leg in the air, I have no idea! Or they're both in the air spread? Okay, that's fair enough. I've no idea what's going on back there, but one day the skinny jeans aren't going to be cool anymore - and you're going to look back on this moment and go: what was I thinking!? I lived in a way I couldn't breathe - for what? To be cool! Young men - you look pretty cool. I can tell you, you were designed by God to have room in the front of your jeans man, be free! God designed it!
Any time you go against God's basic wiring, you're asking for a problem - a big one. We could apply that in 100 different areas, but I can tell you this: God wired you to be a spirit; so when you try to operate with God outside of spirit - when you try to say: God's got to fit in my box - no, no, no. God's got to fit His box.
