Intercessors are placed in the church with those who have a ministry of help, but they serve in a spiritual way.
In the Bible we can find references to the gift of intercession Luke 2: 37; Exodus 17: 12.
People who have the gift of intercession love to pray, like Daniel, who to understand a vision (Daniel 10: 2-3; 12-14) and his prayers unleashed a great spiritual battle, and is that generally those who have the gift of intercession are given a specific subject of prayer (a certain ministry or minister) and function as "prayer guard" of the person God has called them to watch over.
If you have the gift of intercession you will see that God will reveal to you in different ways, what or for whom you should intercede during the day. It is important that intercessors know the scriptures and as they grow in the gift of intercession learn to walk and talk with Jesus.
Another way the Holy Spirit uses to alert us and pray is through dreams (this may be clear or may need interpretation).
