I agree that it was finished at the cross but does that mean that Jesus is no longer active in the affairs of His Church and the believers that are a part of His Church? We know He still answers prayer, does He not? And He intercedes on our behalf, right? Does Hebrews 1:1&2 also rule out that the OT Theophonies were Christophonies? Or is it only speaking to the revelation of Scripture? Now I agree that Hebrews 1:1&2 rules out an angel telling us which lottery numbers to play or which horse to pick in the fifth race but does if restrict Jesus from responding by speaking? Are we not still in the last days? I am not looking to justify an experience but rather evidence from Scripture that He may open or close a door and we may be overwhelmed in the peace that passes all understanding but that He no longer speaks.
