Daughter of Grammy Award-winning producer Rodney Jerkins and actress Joy Enriquez, Heavenly Joy, is using her talent and charm to win over Christians' hearts and minds in her single "War."

"You can't have my family, my joy, my peace, my health, my worth and definitely not my Jesus! This means #WAR! My friends and I of all ages are ready for battle! Are you!?" the caption for the new Heavenly Joy video reads.

The new single "War" features pastor and musician Charles Jenkins. Throughout the tune Heavenly Joy can be heard passionately pleading the blood of Jesus to cover every lie of Satan.

Singer and "The Real" co-host Tamar Braxton shouted out to the young singer with a post on Instagram with a clip of the video. Braxton's caption said, "Just a full warning for my mood today, you might want to rethink trying my joy @heavenlyjoysings got it RIGHT."

Heavenly Joy became an overnight sensation when a clip of her appearance on "America's Got Talent"  went viral. During her nationally televised audition for "AGT," Heavenly Joy set the record straight with judge Howard Stern when he asked if she might perhaps have a little bit of Shirley Temple living "inside" of her.

"Not Shirley Temple," she instantly responded, "Jesus!"

Just weeks after the show aired, Heavenly Joy reemerged on "TODAY" offering her condolences for the tragic loss of former New York Giants player Frank Gifford, husband of host Kathy Lee Gifford. Joy was featured on the show singing two songs both with religious themes. "This Little Light of Mind" and the second one a very bold declaration of Christianity, titled "Jesus." Both songs brought Gifford to tears, prompting her to repeatedly call Heavenly Joy "a blessing."

Heavenly Joy is undoubtedly being raised up in a Christian home as seen in her mother's video titled, "Hallelujah," that features the 5-yeear-old. Her dad, Jerkins, who has produced songs for Michael Jackson, Whitney Houston, and recently Sam Smith, has launched Lifestyle Music Group, a company focused on Christian and gospel music, according to Billboard.
