If you know Jesus as your Savior then God has already called you. The calling of God comes with our conversion. They are not separate events. THE CALLING OF GOD

Be not thou therefore ashamed of the testimony of our Lord, nor of me his prisoner: but be thou partaker of the afflictions of the gospel according to the power of God; 9 Who hath saved us, and called [us] with an holy calling, not according to our works, but according to his own purpose and grace, which was given us in Christ Jesus before the world began, 2 Timothy 1: 8 -9

The calling of God begins with simple obedience. Stop looking for future vision if you’re not willing to submit to the first set of instructions. THE CALLING OF GOD

[It is] God that justifieth. Romans 8: 31 -33

Who [is] he that condemneth? [It is] Christ that died, yea rather, that is risen again, who is even at the right hand of God, who also maketh intercession for us. 35 Who shall separate us from the love of Christ?

As it is written, For thy sake we are killed all the day long; we are accounted as sheep for the slaughter. 37 Nay, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him that loved us. Romans 8: 36 -37
