Is this gevurah still applicable today putting into consideration that the Rebbe said that this is a generation of chessed?

Avraham was afraid to bless Yitzchak because
He foresaw that Esav was to come from him.

But.....Ishmael had already come from Avraham, (no nevua necessary) and, nevertheless Hashem blessed Avraham with everything.

Chesed gives openly and indiscriminately regardless of whether the person deserves or any other factor. Gevurah is discriminate love, giving in a way that the person can receive, including withholding giving to allow the other space to explore and grow. This is the difference between giving out fish (chesed) and withholding giving (gevurah) in order that they should learn to fish independently. The withholding is a deeper love because if done with love because it helps the person actualize a greater independent potential. Of course this can be distorted with cruelty, you can watch a person starve and call it gevurah. But when done with love, this brings people to their power.

Yitzchak uses the name Elokim to bless
But....he thought he was blessing Esav. Esav, being who he was, and with the potential he had, both of which were well known by Yitzchak, and so Yitzchak decided that the appropriate channel to convey the brochas he had for Esav, was Elokim, gevurah.

I.e. Elokim and gevurah were the right channels for Esav, whom Yitzchak thought he was blessing.

And obviously he intended to reserve the name Hashem and chesed for Yakov.

This was thwarted by the fact that Rivka abd Yakov conspired to dupe Yitzchak and switch.

After the duping, only Hashems name as a channel and chesed were left for the true Esav, and this was not appropriate for him. Hence his cry "have you no Brochas left for me?"
