Blessed to be a Blessing | Part 4: Possessing the Gates—God’s Heart for the Nations

Written By Hazen Stevens

In this powerful message, Pastor Hazen Stevens traces the promise given to Abraham—“your offspring shall possess the gates of his enemies”—and connects it to our present mission. From Genesis to the Great Commission, from unreached peoples to the YouVersion app reaching 1 billion downloads, we are part of a generational and global story. The call is simple: PRAY, SERVE, GIVE, FORM, and REACH—because the blessing wasn’t just for us. It’s through us.

Key Scriptures: Genesis 22:17–18, Matthew 16:18, Matthew 28:18–20, Acts 1:8, Galatians 3:29
Main Points:

1. We are heirs of Abraham’s mission to bless all peoples

2. The Great Commission is our modern-day gate to possess

3. Our obedience links generations and reaches the unreached

4. When we open our hearts, God opens doors
