Answer:
"Poor in spirit" is obviously not a material poverty condition, but an internal self-esteem issue. Yet, the inspired word for "poor" (ptochos: pto-khos') attributes a lowly poverty beggar status to the spiritual condition.
The connotation pictures a "cringing beggar." The "poor in spirit" is a "humble" person often set upon by life's circumstances, often in "distress"... as opposed to a person with a "haughty" spirit. Proud.
The "poor in spirit" possess the "spiritual heart condition" worthy of inheriting the Kingdom of God.

Eight verses of Jesus teachings in Matthew chapter 5 begin with happy or blessed?
These are known as the "beatitudes".Matthew 5:3 "Blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.4Blessed are those who mourn, for they will be comforted.5Blessed are the meek, for they will inherit the earth.6Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness, for they will be filled.7Blessed are the merciful, for they will be shown mercy.8Blessed are the pure in heart, for they will see God.9Blessed are the peacemakers, for they will be called sons of God.10Blessed are those who are persecuted because of righteousness, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.
What gospels list the Beatitudes?
The beatitudes are listed in Matthew and Luke as follows:In Matthew:The poor in spirit; theirs is the kingdom of heaven.Mourners; they will be comforted.Those that hunger and thirst after righteousness; they will be filled.Those persecuted for seeking righteousness; theirs is the kingdom of heaven.The meek; they will inherit the earth.The merciful; they will obtain mercy.The pure of heart; they will "see God".The peacemakers; they will be called "the sons of God".In Luke:The poor; theirs is the kingdom of heaven."Those who are weeping"; they "will laugh".The hungry; they will be satisfied.Followers of the Son of Man; theirs is the kingdom of heaven.The first four beatitudes in Matthew have parallels in Luke, with some notable differences. Both authors are believed to have copied these from the hypothetical 'Q' document. In their use of Q, Luke is usually considered to be more faithful to the original than was Matthew, but there are exceptions.When Matthew says "Blessed are the poor in spirit", Luke says simply "blessed are the poor", reflecting the author's ascetic view, with its frequent references to concern for the poor. In this case, Matthew could be closer to the original in Q. Similarly, Matthew has the more spiritual "Those that hunger and thirst after righteousness", but Luke once again records this as favouring the very poor, saying simply "the hungry".The second four in Matthew have no direct parallel in Luke, but may be found in other sources. For example, Matthew's beatitude for the meek is likely to have been inspired by Psalm 37:11, especially given the author's frequent use of material from the Old Testament throughout the Gospel.
What does Matthew chapter 5 verse 3 say?
Matthew 5:3, "blessed are the poor in spirit: for theirs is the kingdom of heaven", is part of a passage known as the beatitudes. This is believed to come from the hypothetical 'Q' document. The equivalent verse in Luke is at Luke 6:20, but Luke speaks of "the poor", not the poor in spirit.Normally, Luke is believed to follow 'Q' more faithfully than Matthew, meaning that the original text should be "the poor" and we should wonder why Matthew altered this from a reference to poverty to an unclear statement. The next verses refer to "those who mourn" and "the meek", so Matthew probably had a similar meaning for "the poor in spirit".However, this passage could be an exception where Luke was the evangelist who changed the original, given Luke's emphasis on the virtues of poverty. However, the order in Luke tends to confirm Luke's "the poor" as the original text. If "the poor in spirit" is, in fact, original to 'Q', we need to look at what 'Q' was trying to say.Either way, we may never really know what Matthew meant by verse 5:3. The best we can do is accept the theological preference for relating "the poor in spirit" to "the meek".

How many times is the phrase Kingdom of god mentioned in the gospel of John?
Getting a Bible with a Concordance or on-line study tool to locate phrases is a great help in these sort of questions. But to answer your question, the New King James Study Bible reflects only 1 instance for this exact phrase as follows: Jesus says, 'Most assuredly, I say to you, unless one is born again, he cannot see the Kingdom of God' (John 3:3).God is Spirit as is His realm. Humans are physical therefore, they cannot see what is invisible or spiritual.
