That's the Kingdom of God
Matthew 10:7-8 – “Go and announce that the kingdom of heaven is near. Heal the sick, raise the dead, cure those with leprosy, and cast out demons. Give as freely as you have received.”

One thing that I don’t do is announce that the kingdom of heaven is near. Is this something that we are still required to do? The only people we see doing this today are the homeless with their cardboard signs, and that is usually in movies. The homeless don’t seem to have the spirituality that they used to. But my question is what is the kingdom of heaven, and what is our responsibility to it? What should we be declaring to others. It is bad that I don’t know this? Anyone have any ideas on what the Kingdom of heaven is and what our responsibility is to it today?

Thomas, the kingdom of God is as near as our last breath which can be the next one we take. To some it feels that that day will not come for a long time for others it comes as a complete surprise. For some they kind of know its coming and do great things with the life that they have left. If you do not believe in Jesus then the kingdom will never, ever, never, ever come and it will always be as near as ONE decision. "The Kingdom of God is NEAR!!!!!!" Let those that have ears HEAR!!!!
Why do the homeless seem not to do this anymore? Because they are so beaten up. It doesn't seem worth it. When was the last time we asked a homeless person, "Do you know how much Jesus loves you!" same as saying, "THE KINGDOM OF GOD IS NEAR"

the kingdom is already here. it's a different plane of existence that we have the opportunity to live in. it's not something we have to wait for.
