One Nut Holding the Wheel: Miracle Story

from Miracles in the 21st Century · host 3ABN Australia Radio

A mysterious knocking sound at highway speed turned into a miracle story that still leaves listeners speechless. This is a modern day miracle of protection that Ernie Hufnagl believes could only be explained by God's hand on the wheel — literally. Driving from Foster to Newcastle, Ernie's car developed a strange knocking noise that grew worse by the mile. A mechanic couldn't diagnose it, so Ernie prayed and kept driving, determined to make it home. When he finally arrived and inspected his tires, he discovered four of the five nuts on his rear wheel were completely missing — he'd been driving at 110km/h on a single wheel nut. Convinced this was no coincidence, Ernie shares how this experience, alongside a string of other close calls since giving his life to Christ, deepened his conviction that God actively protects those who trust Him, even when they don't realize danger is just one turn away. In this episode, you will hear: The strange knocking sound that grew worse the longer Ernie drove Why a mechanic couldn't find anything wrong with the car The shocking discovery of just one wheel nut holding the tire on at highway speed Ernie's take on the difference between "luck" and a genuine miracle Watch all the episodes on our Youtube channel at this link: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL65y7saKkuQ2TB-CeuL-Ewag2dXWlz-A8 Music Credits: Clouds by Ethereal 88 | ethereal88.bandcamp.com Music promoted by www.free-stock-music.com Creative Commons / Attribution 4.0 International (CC BY 4.0)
