We have some process instances by error deleted from runtime stage. All of them were waiting at receive task. Is their anyway to bring those deleted process instances to runtime?  
I doubt from API but some sort of DB manipulation like adding entries in runtime execution table for process and receive task and bringing historical variables to runtime etc.
