If you are syncing Messages with iCloud and you deleted them, they can't be recovered. If you weren't syncing Messages with iCloud, do you have a backup you can restore from? If you are using an IOS device that backs up regularly, you may not have a backup that old. Restoring from a backup erases all data currently on your device. Any data newer than when the backup was made will be erased. A restore is an all or nothing restore. You can't access a backup and only restore certain files.

Backup - Restore your device from an iCloud or iTunes backup

Backups - Locate backups of your iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch
