Why don't we command poverty to disappear, too in our world? There are some things within our ability and some that are not. But that does not detract from the fact that these men commanded things to occur and they did.

Did Elijah cause it to rain? Or did he pray and God heard his prayer?

James 5:16-18 KJV
Confess your faults one to another, and pray one for another, that ye may be healed. The effectual fervent prayer of a righteous man availeth much. [17] Elias was a man subject to like passions as we are, and he prayed earnestly that it might not rain: and it rained not on the earth by the space of three years and six months. [18] And he prayed again, and the heaven gave rain, and the earth brought forth her fruit.

I am not sure what you are referencing about Paul and a guy's withered hand?

My point was a blanket statement that "the difference between a psychic and a prophet is the psychic predicts the future and a prophet creates the future" is... foolish, in my opinion. In reality, the difference between a psychic and a prophet is that one is demonised (or a fraud) and the other is anointed and gifted by God to speak on God's behalf.
