And there were seven lamps of fire burning before the throne, which are the seven Spirits of God; (Revelation 4:5b)
I believe the seven Spirits of God is the Holy Spirit who Jesus asked the Father to send to build up the church, being referenced as seven to show completeness and unity with the church.
20 As for the mystery of the seven stars which you saw in My right hand, and the seven golden lampstands: the seven stars are the angels of the seven churches, and the seven lampstands are the seven churches. (Revelation 1:20)
16 I will ask the Father, and He will give you another Helper, that He may be with you forever; 17 that is the Spirit of truth, whom the world cannot receive, because it does not see Him or know Him, but you know Him because He abides with you and will be in you. (John 14:16-17)
26 But the Helper, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in My name, He will teach you all things, and bring to your remembrance all that I said to you. (John 14:26)
22 The glory which You have given Me I have given to them, that they may be one, just as We are one; (John 17:22)
