Requiring of invitation and permission? That is why he should not be “feared”? I am asking.

No. But if you stand by and allow evil to prevail, that is "allowing." That is also "ceding ground" to his influence. I think fear is a tool Satan uses to insinuate himself into people's lives.

There is probably a reason why the Bible contains, in one form or another, the phrase, "Fear not" around 365 times. Proverbs 3:5 says, "Trust in the LORD with all thy heart, and lean not on thine own understanding." That's good enough for me.
