How about moses on the mountain? How about elijah with his Mantle? could it be the seven lamp stands which stand before the thrown of God? Could the fasting contribute to the purification and igniting the spirit? What happens when you light a candle in the dark? Spiritual powers.

If you hang a red cloth in front of that candle and put it in your front window at about 2:00 am it sends a different message.

(1) PERFECTION. As the one sunbeam is composed of seven parts, and thus perfected into whiteness—so seven is the divine number of perfection, or completeness.
(2) VARIETY. Not absolute uniformity, but variety; the variety which is needful for perfection—the manifold gifts of the one Spirit, sent from the one Christ.
(3) UNITY. Seven is oneness; oneness with diversity—one body, many members; one household, many members; one temple, many stones; one loaf, many crumbs; one sky, many stars.
(4) Covenant-CERTAINTY. Seven is the covenant number. The seven lambs at Beersheba were for covenant; and that place means 'the well of the seven,' or the 'well of the oath' (Genesis 21:31). The Churches are the Churches of the everlasting covenant—the covenant between the Father and the Son—'ordered in all things, and sure.'

Luke 8:16
No man, when he hath lighted a candle, covereth it with a vessel, or putteth it under a bed; but setteth it on a candlestick, that they which enter in may see the light.
Revelation 1:20
The mystery of the seven stars which thou sawest in my right hand, and the seven golden candlesticks. The seven stars are the angels of the seven churches: and the seven candlesticks which thou sawest are the seven churches.
Christians are to be like candlesticks, shedding God's light to the world.

I do not"no", but I have an idea based on your paragraph and Yes. I believe What you have said is so about the candlestick, you speak about the passages as powers. why is that so.?
