"Nic Bilman's new CD Anthem is a great blessing to worshipers, bringing them into the presence of God.  By bringing both spirit led songs, and what will be considered timeless choruses, the listener is taken on a journey of hope, faith, and encounter. I highly encourage the body of Christ to make this passionate recording a stable part of your worship life.  Nic and his wife, Rachel,  are ones that will pioneer worship for years to come with a "John The Baptist" passion for the Lord."

Nic BillmanNic and his wife Rachael live in Central, PA with their three children, Christian, Forrest and Leila.  In addition to their itinerate ministry they are currently serving at First UMC in Mercersburg, PA as Youth Pastors and Worship Leaders.

Nic is a 3rd generation pastor. In addition to pastoring, his father also serves on staff for Aldersgate Renewal Ministries.  His grandather traveled to several foreign countries on missions , preached at camp meetings and also worked with Billy Graham in addition to pastoring several churches.   Rachael's father is a pastor as well. Their parents are longtime friends and Nic and Rachael have known each other since they were born.

When Nic was 13 years old, God called him into ministry, and when he was 15 he attended an Aldersgate Life in The Spirit Conference where Linda Gregorino (a woman gifted in the prophetic) gave him a small wrench and spoke a prophetic word over his life that "God would use Nic to restore and to build The Church."  It wasn't until later that he would realize the depth and reality of that word.  Later that year Nic went to the Freshwind Youth Conference '98 in Toronto and witnessed, and received, the power and love of God like he had never experienced before.

Nic's life in music began in a rock band in the Philadelphia area.  After several years (and a lot of fun) in that band they parted ways when he and Rachael got married.  Through God's grace, and after various falls and failures along the journey, God started to draw Nic to a deeper place in the Spirit through worship.  He began to spend more time in the Secret place, seeking the face of God.  Psalm 105:3-4 was the cry of his heart:
Glory in His holy name; let the hearts of those rejoice who seek and require the Lord, as their indispensable necessity. Seek, inquire of and for the Lord, and crave Him and His strength; seek and require His face and His presence evermore."

This was the beginning of an intense season of craving the Lord, as an indispensable necessity.  "To spin off the old Saturday Night Live skit 'I had a fever, and the only prescription was more of His love!  More of you Lord, more of You!", Nic says (it's way better than any old cow bell anyway).  During these years, Nic and Rachael were not leading worship often, so these times of worship were spent in their living room, in the car, out on the deck, etc. These were quiet times alone with the Lord, and it was in these times of pressing in to the heart of God that He began to reveal the apostolic calling that He had placed on their lives.  Nic began to write down the prayers and things that he was singing to the Lord in the inner chambers.  Songs like "Restore Me", "More of You", "Crying Out" and "First Dance" were birthed out of this season.

The saturation of the anointing began to spill over into the youth ministry that they were pastoring at the time, and they saw an incredible move of God on the lives of those youth.

It was in this season that three different ministers had prophesied over Nic and Rachael that they had a an anointing to reach the multitudes.  "It was really exciting to hear confirmation that God had called us to the nations, to the multitudes, 'cause God had been revealing that to us in our times of prayer", Nic says.  True to the apostolic calling, Nic and Rachael have had their share of suffering both in the Church and in their personal lives. Two of their three children's births were very difficult.  Christian was born three months premature and nearly died several times before being miraculously healed, and when Leila was born, Rachael nearly bled to death in the hospital.  They also went through the pain of losing a baby during pregnancy, which would have been their fourth child.  But all of those trials that they've been through just increase the reality and power of 2 Corinthians 12:9;
My grace is sufficient for you, for My strength is made perfect in weakness." Therefore most gladly I will rather boast in my infirmities, that the power of Christ may rest upon me."

Also true to the apostolic calling Nic and Rachael have a burning heart for intercession.  The two words that best describe their worship is intimacy and warfare, two key elements to intercession.  "We're called to be lovers of God, and warriors of God.  But you can't be a good warrior of God, without being madly in love with Him", Nic says.  God has recently brought them into a season of intense spiritual warfare in worship.  "It's actually pretty funny, one minute we'll be singing 'we love you Jesus, take us away with You, to Your chambers'", he says, "and the next minute we're singing 'in Jesus name we're gonna kick the devil in the butt and take back what was stolen from our God'".  2 Chronicles 7:13-14 has been the heartcry for this move of God in their lives;

When I shut up heaven and there is no rain, or command the locusts to devour the land, or send pestilence among My people, if My people who are called by My name will humble themselves, and pray and seek My face, and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin and heal their land."

That passage gives a blueprint for opening up the heavens and bringing healing and restoration to a church, a city, a region, a nation, etc.  If we will seek his face, a term of intimacy, and pray, meaning intercession and warring for "our land", than He'll rain down forgiveness and healing.  Through this verse God birthed the song "Anthem" through Nic, and it has been used as a tool for intercession in worship in many different venues.

Nic and Rachael believe strongly in realizing your identity in Christ and being who you are. They love people and have a burning passion to see broken lives restored and to help people realize their destiny and identity in Jesus.  As a minister with tattoos and an atypical "image" Nic has had his share of religious critics, a constant reminder to be thankful that his portion is in Christ.  But his prayer is that wherever he ministers, whether it's too a bunch of youth at a metal show, or a group of adults at church, is that God would have His way through him.  "Our daily prayer is 'Lord, let us decrease so that you can increase. Your kingdom come, Your will be done, in us as it in heaven.'', Nic shares, "'may it be unto us as You will.'"

Nic believes strongly that Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, today and forever (Hebrews 13:8) and therefore believes that the church needs to be awakened to the words of Jesus in Mark 16:15-18;
Go into all the world and preach the gospel to every creature…And these signs will follow those who believe: In My name they will cast out demons; they will speak with new tongues; they will take up serpents; and if they drink anything deadly, it will by no means hurt them; they will lay hands on the sick, and they will recover."

They don't "seek the signs", but they do seek the Master of the signs, and as The Word states above, the signs accompany those who believe!  Or to quote John Crowder, "we do not preach a gospel of signs and wonders, we preach a gospel of Christ and Him crucified- the signs and wonders merely follow this message". Both Nic and Rachael operate in the prophetic word, in song, spoken and written word.  God often places a healing anointing on Rachael and speaks detailed words for healing through her.  They're humbled by the fact that God has used them to heal and restore countless lives in the name of Jesus, both in one-on-one ministry and through larger events.  They have had the Wind of the Spirit blow through the room often as they lead worship, and several people who have purchased their first album have shared testimony of the Wind blowing in their house while playing the CD.  They also regularly have angelic visitations, as do their children, as they worship in the worship room in their house.  To them, all of these things are simply confirmation that they are chasing after, and connecting with, the heart of God.  More Lord!

"We desperately seek more of Jesus in our lives, and we are constantly striving to lean not on our own understanding but to trust God as he moves in and through us.  It's all Yours Lord, have Your way".
