Sorry for my terrible explanation.

For example, does "his words" mean what he has just said or what he usually says or his promise?

"his words" can mean any words that he speaks or writes, whether he just said them, or usually says them, or anything else, depending on context. The idiom for a promise is "one's word", singular, never one's words.
