In general deleted messages are gone forever. The one exception is if you do NOT sync messages to iCloud and you have a backup that contains the message you can restore that backup to the phone. This will replace everything on the phone, however, not just the one message.

We are a public user forum.. you cannot call us and we cannot call you.
I think you will need to provide more information related to what Lawrence Finch posted for you
Go to Settings > [your name] > iCloud and tell us if the switch for Messages is turned on (switch will be green)
If this switch is on/green, you can stop reading here because you cannot recover the message(s)
If the switch is off, you need to figure out if you have an iPhone backup that would contain the deleted messages.
So.. the first question will be, do you back up your iPhone? To do this you would have to hook your phone up to a computer and back it up. Or if you go to Settings > [your name] > iCloud > iCloud Backup.. is the switch on or off?
If that switch is off and you didn't back your phone up with a computer, again you can stop reading here because you will not be able to recover the messages.
So.. If you have a backup on your computer that was made after you got those messages and before you deleted them, then you would need to restore your iPhone with this backup. In doing this, you will lose anything you've done on your phone between now and when that backup was made.
If your phone is backing up to iCloud, we're not really going to know if those messages still exist. It'll come down to timing. iCloud backup will update whenever your phone is plugged in, connected to wifi and locked/sleeping. So if this has occurred since you deleted those messages, you might not recover them.
I don't use iCloud backup, but I believe I read that it keeps a couple of backups. Someone else may have to comment in or you might have to wait to hear back from Lawrence on that one.
Restore your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch from a backup - Apple Support
You need to answer some of the questions I've posed.
1) is the switch on for Messages in Settings > [your name] > iCloud?
2) is the switch on for iCloud Backup in Settings > [your name] > iCloud > iCloud Backup?
3) have you or do you back your iPhone up using a computer?
be careful. You find your existing backs on your computer. you copy them to another folder. you then backup your device. you move this to another folder. you then copy the original backup back. restore.
