Revelation Ch 1 v 4 last line and from the seven SPIRITS befor his Throne. taken from. Lion Electronic library. NIV [2]]

What a good question! I've been checking this out over the last hour and I now have some background information which I hope will be helpful.
As you probably know, symbolically, the number 7 stands for completeness. In Revelation, there are lots of 7's:
7 churches, represented by 7 golden lamp stands and 7 stars which are the angels of the 7 churches.
The 7 angels to the 7 churches are either heavenly messengers, earthly messengers (ministers) OR the personifications of the prevailing spirit of each church.
Re the 7 spirits mentioned in Rev 1: 4 - this could mean the sevenfold Spirit as mentioned in Rev. 5: 6. In Rev. 4: 5-7 mention is made of 7 lamps, the 7 spirits of God. Wherever Spirit appears with a capital S, it seems to refer to the Holy Spirit.
So, given the highly symbolic language used in Revelation, the 7 spirits before the throne are probably not literal spirits and I doubt the Holy Spirit is one of them. However, I'm not qualified to give a commentary on Revelation - this is just a lay-person's opinion.
I am now going to ask around for further information on these 7 spirits. If I come up with anything, can I email you?

For a useful answer to this, borrow William Barclays commentary on the Revelation
You will benefit more if you look it up yourself (It is part of The Daily Study Bible from St Andrew Press)
