In the Lord's Prayer, we pray for God's " Kingdom to come and his will to be done on earth as it is in heaven" Matt 6: 9 & 10
The bible shows that Kingdom will do away with sickness and death and bring about peace on the earth. Which are conditions that are in heaven that would then be on the earth as we pray for in the Lords Prayer. Rev. 21: 3 & 4, Ps. 37: 10 & 11
So no, the Kingdom of God is not the power of God to transform our life for the better. Although, a study of his word and learning about the kingdom can improve our life. We become a better person by following the bibles advice.

God’s Kingdom was the major theme of Christ’s teaching, and it is mentioned more than a hundred times in the Gospels. Early in his ministry, Jesus said: “I must declare the good news of the kingdom of God, because for this I was sent forth.” He taught his followers to pray: “Let your kingdom come.”—Luke 4:43; 11:2.
What, then, is the Kingdom? According to The New Thayer’s Greek English Lexicon, the Greek word translated “kingdom” in the Bible means first, “royal power, kingship, dominion, rule” and second, “the territory subject to the rule of a king.” From this we would logically conclude that God’s Kingdom is a literal government administered by a King who Jehovah has appointed--Jesus Christ.

No, it is a real government. In Jesus's 'pre election campaign' when he came down to earth, he showed us exately what to expect when his kingdom comes. He ressurected the dead, fed the hungry, healed the sick etc. In Isaiah it states that God will bless the earth and even the tops of the mountains and deserts will become fruitful. Paradise is not, as some christians believe, in heaven. Paradise is on Earth (where God intended it to be in the first place, Eden) and that is what God's plan is.
Our Father in the Heavens
Hallowed by thy name
LET YOUR KINGDOM COME!!!!

we all do not know if that is the contextual totality of His promise but then? will you believe that there is nothing beyond death? if the answer is yes but you live happily and faithfully to God, i believe that everything you believed and anticipate during the moment you become inspired to God will become a part of your whole life that only God and you know personally
