(Spoilers All) Are the Seven Gods Active?

So we've seen the power of the Red God and the Old Gods but what of the Seven? Will their power be confined to the hearts and minds of their followers or will they have a more concrete influence on the world as we've seen with the Wierwoods and Priests of R'hllor?

After rereading all the Jaimie POV's I can't help but wonder at the dream the Kingslayer had the last time we saw him in Riverrun. The figure in his dream was hinted to be his mother but I got a very strong impression that it was the Mother above he was speaking to.

>"I am not your sister, Jaime." She raised a pale soft hand and pushed her hood back. "Have you forgotten me?" Can I forget someone I never knew? The words caught in his throat. He did know herbut it had been so long . . . "Will you forget your own lord father too? I wonder if you ever knew him, truly." Her eyes were green, her hair spun gold. He could not tell how old she was. Fifteen, he thought, or fifty. She climbed the steps to stand above the bier. "He could never abide being laughed at. That was the thing he hated most." "Who are you?" He had to hear her say it. "The question is, who are you?"<

We saw in Dance how Bran through the Heart Tree in Winterfell exerted a strong influence over the fate of the North. By causing Theon to “remember his name” the landscape of the battle for the North changed dramatically (although we’ll have to wait for Winds to see the full extent). Does anyone think that we may see some sort of involvement of the Seven? Perhaps by influencing/guiding characters to make the right decisions?
